Quote of the Day

“As a child I received instruction both in the Bible and in the Talmud. I am a Jew, but I am enthralled by the luminous figure of the Nazarene… No one can read the Gospels without feeling the actual presence of Jesus. His personality pulsates in every word. No myth is filled with such life.” 

– Albert Einstein

Quote of the Day

“Does it grieve you, my friends, that the name of God is being taken in vain and desecrated? Does it grieve you that we are living in a godless age? …But, we are living in such an age and the main reason we should be praying about revival is that we are anxious to see God’s name vindicated and His glory manifested. We should be anxious to see something happening that will arrest the nations, all the peoples, and cause them to stop and to think again.” 

– Martyn Lloyd-Jones

Quote of the Day

“Without regeneration, God would just be hosing off the pig and watching it head right back for the muck.” 

– Dan Phillips

Quote of the Day

“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.”

– R.C. Sproul

Quote of the Day

“The modern-day gospel says, ‘God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life. Therefore, follow these steps, and you can be saved.’ Meanwhile, the biblical gospel says, ‘You are an enemy of God, dead in your sin, & in your present state of rebellion, you are not even able to see that you need life, much less to cause yourself to come to life. Therefore, you are radically dependent on God to do something in your life that you could never do.” 

– David Platt

Quote of the Day

“If God had perceived that our greatest need was economic, He would have sent an economist.

If he had perceived that our greatest need was entertainment, he would have sent us a comedian or an artist.

If God had perceived that our greatest need was political stability, he would have sent us a politician.

If he had perceived that our greatest need was health, he would have sent us a doctor.

But he perceived that our greatest need involved our sin, our alienation from him, our profound rebellion, our death, and he sent us a Savior.” 

– D. A. Carson

Quote of the Day

“Men, your primary responsibility in your home, after your wife, is you to disciple your own children. And if you don’t do it, you’re in sin; you are in sin. And if you turn it over to a Sunday school teacher, you are in sin. And you are to be teaching these children more than just stories about animals that went into Noah’s ark. You’re to be teaching them about God, about radical depravity, about blood atonement, about propitiation, expiation, justification, sanctification; you are to teach your children!”

– Paul Washer

Quote of the Day

“…as the pulpit goes, so goes the church. Never has this been more true than it is in this present hour. The fact remains, no church can rise any higher than its pulpit. The spiritual life of any congregation and its growth in grace will never exceed the high-water mark set by its pulpit.”

– Steven Lawson

Quote of the Day

What will it cost to be a true Christian? “it will cost him his self-righteousness. He must cast away all pride and high thoughts, and conceit of his own goodness. He must be content to go to heaven as a poor sinner, saved only by free grace, and owing all to the merit and righteousness of another.”

– J. C. Ryle

Quote of the Day

“Missions is not the ultimate goal of the church. Worship is. Missions exists because worship doesn’t.”

– John Piper

Quote of the Day

“God’s sovereignty does not negate our responsibility to pray, but rather makes it possible for us to pray with confidence.”

– Jerry Bridges

Quote of the Day

“The religion of some people is constrained, like the cold bath when used, not for pleasure, but from necessity for health, into which one goes with reluctance, and is glad when able to get out. But religion to the true believer is like water to a fish; it is his element; he lives in it and could not live out of it.”

– John Newton

Quote of the Day

“For every one hundred men who can stand adversity there is only one who can withstand prosperity.”

– Thomas Carlyle



Quote of the Day

“Without the gospel, a gathering of people, though they claim otherwise, cannot be an authentic church.”

– R.C. Sproul

Quote of the Day

“When we come to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, do we realize that it was the greatest manifestation of the energy of the strength of God’s might that the world has ever known?… From the moment God puts His hand upon a man and brings him to the new birth and new life, He continues to exert this power in him… If we are to understand this power which is working in us we must see it as it is illustrated in what God has done in Christ, in the power which he wrought in Christ when he raised him from the dead. What a display of power that was!”

-Martyn Lloyd-Jones

Quote of the Day

“No one in the history of the world has been more inclusive of repentant sinners than Jesus and no one has been more intolerant of sin.”

– Kevin DeYoung

Quote of the Day

“I believe the highest purpose of the preacher is to faithfully exposit Scripture to his hearers. Herein lies the power of God in His church. We must not look to trendy gimmicks, manipulative methods, or shallow entertainment, but in the proclamation of biblical truth.”

– Steven Lawson

Quote of the Day

“I can think of no New Testament precedent for continuing to identify oneself by sins from which one repented on conversion. Nor do I see compassion in patting someone on the head who dons a title that self-identifies as embracing a sin. Practicing homosexuality is sin; a ‘gay’ is someone who embraces perverse desires so as to practice homosexuality; a ‘Christian gay/lesbian/homosexual’ is a contradiction in terms.

It is to say ‘I am an unrepentant pursuer of indulging perverse desires of whose indulgence I’ve repented.’ Further, as we’ve often discussed, it’s debatable whether there’s any value to ongoing public reminders of what particular temptations we are fighting. To say you’re a Christian is to say that you are in warfare against fleshly lusts (1 Pet. 2:11). It’s definitional.

Sir Aaron said it perfectly: ‘if I had to identify myself by my sinful desires, it would take me a long time to introduce myself.’ Also, it’s doubtful as to whether it would serve any healthy purpose.”

– Dan Phillips

Quote of the Day

“If it is I who determine where God is to be found, then I shall always find a God who corresponds to me in some way… But if God determines where he is to be found, then it will be in a place which is not at all congenial to me…whoever would find him must go to the foot of the Cross…This is not according to our nature at all, it is entirely contrary to it. But this is the message of the Bible.”

– Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Looking Unto Jesus

“It is ever the Holy Spirit’s work to turn our eyes away from self to Jesus; but Satan’s work is just the opposite of this, for he is constantly trying to make us regard ourselves instead of Christ.

He insinuates, “Your sins are too great for pardon; you have no faith; you do not repent enough; you will never be able to continue to the end; you have not the joy of His children; you have such a wavering hold of Jesus.”

All these are thoughts about self, and we shall never find comfort or assurance by looking within. But the Holy Spirit turns our eyes entirely away from self: He tells us that we are nothing, but that “Christ is all in all.””

— Charles Spurgeon
