I get irritated when I hear preachers say, "Come to Jesus and all your problems will be over." That's just simply a lie.

The very heart of worship, as the Bible makes clear, is the business of expressing, from the depths of our spirits, the highest possible honor we can offer before God.

Our natural inclination is to hide ourselves from God.

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.

There is nothing in this universe you need more desperately than Christ.

Isn't is amazing that almost everyone has an opinion to offer about the Bible, and yet so few have studied it?

The more faithful preachers are to the Word of God in their preaching, the more liable they are to the charge of hypocrisy. Why? Because the more faithful people are to the Word of God the higher the message is that they will preach. The higher the message, the further they will be from obeying themselves.
