All Christian life is to be measured by Scripture; by every word thereof. John Wycliffe What I have taught with my lips I now seal with my blood. Jan Hus Faith in our Lord Jesus Christ is sufficient for salvation. There must be an atonement made for sin according to the righteousness of God. The person to make this atonement must be God and man. John Wycliffe
Trust wholly in Christ; rely altogether on His sufferings; beware of seeking to be justified in any other way than by His righteousness. John Wycliffe
Faith is nothing else than trust in the divine mercy promised in Christ. Philipp Melanchthon
"Since the Bible is God’s very words, and have within themselves His very authority - I believe that expository preaching should be the most consistent offering that we offer unto God and to His people"
“When a man is filled with the Word of God you cannot keep him still. If a man has got the Word, he must speak or die.” – D. L. Moody "Since this is God’s very Word - we’re not up there to speculate, we’re not surmising, we’re not commenting, we’re not sharing: we have something to proclaim!" - Mike Neglia
Expository preaching is the faithful explanation & application of the Bible in which the text of Scripture supplies the matter of the preacher’s exhortations rather than the preacher using the text as an occasion for his own expostulations, however helpful they may be. -L Dunca
"No man who is full of himself can ever truly preach the Christ who emptied Himself." -
J. Sidlow Baxter
It's time to proclaim, not just share. As good stewards of God's grace, we must use our gifts to speak the oracles of God with humility and confidence.
"The gospel is all about Christ from beginning to end." – Charles Spurgeon "The greatest moments in history are not battles of conquerors, but the preaching of the gospel." — Charles Spurgeon "The sins you have loved in the past must be hated and forsaken." — Charles Spurgeon
"God will sooner empty heaven of angels than leave a saint without defense." —
Charles Spurgeon
“Faith is the principal receptive instrument whereby those who seek the triune God receive the triune God, the exceedingly great reward that is offered to us in the gospel (Gen. 15:1; Heb. 11:6).” — Scott R. Swain, The Trinity: An Introduction, 131. “The missions of the triune God, more than anything else, manifest the grace of God the Father whereby he embraces us as his beloved children, at the cost of his only begotten Son, through the presence of his Holy Spirit, to the glory of his name.” — Swain, The Trinity, 115.
“We are formed in the image of what we habitually gaze at. The habits of our hearts follow the habits of our phones.” — Justin Whitmel Earley, Habits of the Household, 12. “Faith alone receives, rests in, and relies upon Jesus Christ as he is offered to us in the gospel, as well as all the benefits that God offers us in him John 1:11-13; Eph. 2:8-9).” — Scott R. Swain, The Trinity: An Introduction, 131. Sin will assure you that you can escape its grasp any time you want. Beware! 1. Sin is strengthened as you feed it, and you won't be strong enough to escape. 2. Sin changes your affections as you feast on it, so you won't want to leave it. Stay away from the tempter's trap.
“A person is reckless and without his sense, if he allows his passion and lust to be unleashed.” — Stephen Charnock, Divine Providence, 87
