Fallen man is free to choose what he desires, but because his desires are only wicked he lacks the moral ability to come to Christ. As long as he remains in the flesh, unregenerate, he will never choose Christ. He cannot choose Christ precisely because he cannot act against his own will. His fall is so great that only the effectual grace of God working in his heart can bring him to faith.

Faith never requires us to crucify our minds or deny our senses.

The greatest weakness in the church today is that the servants of God keep looking over their shoulder for the approval of men.

We cannot change God. God is unchangeable. If changes are to be made, they must be made in us.

The house that is built upon the sand will crumble at the first sign of a windstorm.

The cross was a glorious outworking of the grace of God, by which the Father commissioned the Son to make full satisfaction so that sinners might be saved with no sacrifice of God’s justice.

Men and women who refuse to acknowledge God's existence do so, in the final analysis, because it is contrary to their manner of living. They do not want to bow to the moral claims of a holy God on their lives.
