“When we depart from God’s way, we depart from God’s protection.” —
Stephen Charnock, Divine Providence, 99.
“Scripture is clear that the central mission of the church is not to cure global poverty, but to preach gospel grace; it's not to transform the world, but to make disciples heralding the One who has (Matt. 28:18-20; cf. Acts 1:8).” — Matt Smethurst “Satan would have us do anything but remind each other of the inexhaustible riches we have in Jesus.” — J. Garrett Kell, Pure in Heart, 105. “If it is so that we are changed into the image of the second Adam, Jesus Christ, then let us labor every day more and more to study Christ. so that by beholding him we may be transformed into his likeness.” — Richard Sibbes
The fact that we do not find a precise term does not mean that the concept that we mean by it is not a scriptural concept. — S. Lewis Johnson on the theological covenants
“We doubt as if God, who created the world without instruments, cannot providentially apply himself to our particular crises without the help of some of his creatures.” —
Stephen Charnock, Divine Providence, 99.
Come away, my dear brethren, fly, fly, fly for your lives to Jesus Christ; fly to a bleeding God, fly to a throne of grace George Whitefield Those who trust in their own righteousness hide behind their own good works. This is the reason that self-righteous people are so angry with gospel preachers because the gospel does not spare those who will not submit to the righteousness of Jesus Christ! George Whitefield True conversion means turning not only from sin but also from depending on self-made righteousness. George Whitefield
What! Get to heaven on your own strength? Why, you might as well try to climb to the moon on a rope of sand! George Whitefield Study to know Him more and more, for the more you know, the more you will love Him. George Whitefield The true believer can no more live without prayer than without food day by day. George Whitefield If we once get above our Bibles and cease making the written Word of God our sole rule both as to faith and practice, we shall soon lie open to all manner of delusion and be in great danger of making shipwreck of faith and a good conscience. George Whitefield One of these grand defects, as I humbly conceive, is, that children are habituated to learning without understanding. Jonathan Edwards Resolved, to study the Scriptures so steadily, constantly and frequently, as that I may find, and plainly perceive myself to grow in the knowledge of the same. Jonathan Edwards The satisfaction of Christ is to free us from misery; the merit of Christ is to purchase happiness for us. Jonathan Edwards By Christ’s purchasing redemption, two things are intended: his satisfaction and his merit; the one pays our debt, and so satisfies; the other procures our title, and so merits. Jonathan Edwards If you are going to walk with Jesus Christ, you are going to be opposed. In our days, to be a true Christian is really to become a scandal. George Whitefield Be humble, talk little, think and pray much. George Whitefield
"We work for Jesus. It is Him we aim to honor above all else. When we understand this, then our every occupation is instilled with dignity, and we can abound in the work of the Lord in whatever we do." —Alistair Begg
