I have never met an old saint who regretted having spent too much time in prayer, but I have met many who regretted having spent too little!

Are we willing to risk being misunderstood and maligned in order that truth might be told and men might be saved? Identifying a malady and explaining its seriousness are always the first steps to finding a cure... God has ordained that men come to conviction of sin, repentance, and saving faith through preaching. Yet how can the [Holy] Spirit use our preaching if we are not willing to expose sin or call men to repentance?

The work is hindered. The glory of God is tarnished and it is because the people of God no longer know how to discern the things of God.

It is absurd to think that a man can believe in Christ, with his heart, and it not have a radical affect on the rest of his life.

Idolatry is when you become the source of your own joy. Poverty of spirit is a wonderful thing.

The problem is, even when we preach the Gospel correctly, then we go to this thing on how to invite men and it's not biblical or historical. We get them to jump through some evangelical hoops and say, "yes" to the appropriate questions and we pope-ishly announce them to be saved.

The man who has truly believed in his heart ... his life will be marked by a biblical confession of Christ in word and deed.
