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.

The whole basis for our relationship with God is rooted and grounded in grace, in that which is not earned.

No one was ever called by God to greater suffering than God's only begotten Son.

The problem in the church today is not the profession of faith, but it's possession.

The sin of fallen man is this: Man seeks the benefits of God while at the same time fleeing from God Himself.

Reformed theology does NOT teach that God brings the ELECT kicking and screaming, against their will, into His kingdom. It teaches that God so-works in the hearts of the Elect as to make them willing and pleased to come to Christ. They come to Christ because they want to. They want to because God has created in their hearts a desire for Christ.

The supreme form of cursedness is for the Lord to turn His back on you and bring judgment on you.
