For the soul of a person to be inflamed with passion for the living God, that person's mind must first be informed about the character and will of God. There can be nothing in the heart that is not first in the mind. Though it is possible to have theology on the head without its piercing the soul, it cannot pierce the soul without first being grasped by the mind.

The irony of New Testament lordship is that only in slavery to Christ can a man discover authentic freedom.

When we behold the face of God, all memories of pain and suffering will vanish. Our souls shall be totally healed.

What better evidence could there be of a man's salvation than that he offers to others the grace he himself has received?

All that God had to do to harden Pharaoh's heart, or to harden your heart, is to withhold His own grace.

Worship is not simply a feeling that is experienced; it must also involve understanding and the mind.

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.
