If you have made the good profession, if you claimed to have passed through the gate, if you have received baptism in a public declaration of your faith, and you begin to walk-it doesn't matter how long it appears you're walking in that path-if you step off that path and there's no discipline and you continue on that path, you can have no assurance whatsoever of your salvation. And it is not that you lost your salvation, it's that you're showing now that you never had it. If we would only preach these truths

How could we have such a low view of the gospel of Jesus Christ that we have to manipulate men psychologically to get them to come down and pray a prayer? …How many times have I heard evangelists say, “It’ll only take five minutes.”? No my dear friend, it will take your life–all of it!

Over the epitaph of this generation it will say ENTERTAINED TO DEATH.

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

It [salvation] is not this flu shot mentality of an invitation of the Gospel.

Prior to the reign of the godly King Josiah, the law of God had been lost in the temple for many years. Has the same thing occurred among us? Has the evangel been lost among evangelicals?

Maybe that is why there are not a whole lot of problems between the church and worldly culture today, because we are not confronting the culture around us.
