Only God can provide us with an eternal perspective and speak to us with absolute and final authority.

No sinner has the right to say with impunity, 'God you owe me grace.' If grace is owed, it is not grace. The very essence of grace is its voluntary character. God reserves to himself the sovereign, absolute right to give grace to some and withhold that grace from others.

When the gospel is at stake, everything is at stake.

In Reformed theology, if God is not sovereign over the entire created order, then he is not sovereign at all. The term sovereignty too easily becomes a chimera. If God is not sovereign, then he is not God.

The glory of the gospel is this: The one from whom we need to be saved is the one who has saved us.

Mindless Christianity is no Christianity at all. You can't love what you don't know.

In every age the church is threatened by heresy, and heresy is bound up in false doctrine. It is the desire of all heretics to minimize the importance of doctrine. When doctrine is minimized, heresy can exercise itself without restraint.
