-
Our hearts exploit our minds to justify what our hearts want. Our deepest desires incline our minds to perceive and think in a way that will make our desires look right.
-
If we recognize our sin, fight it, and cling to the cross of Christ as our hope, then God will hear us and answer our prayers.

-
Worship is all the acts of the heart and mind and body that intentionally express the infinite worth of God.
-
The faith that justifies and the faith that sanctifies are not two different kinds of faith.
-
The best news in all the world is that our alienation from God is ended. We have been reconciled to the Judge of the universe.
-
Be devoted to glorifying the dependability of God. Lives of faith are the great mirror of his faithful love and provision.
-
Open your eyes to the better country, the city of God that he has prepared for us, and let yourself desire it with all your heart. God will not be ashamed to be called your God.
-
Faith glorifies God because it is a future-oriented confidence in Godâs integrity and power and wisdom to follow through on all his promises.
-
We donât become heirs of Abrahamâs promises by working for God but by being confident that God works for us.
-
Why does faith not nullify the grace of God? Because faith calls all attention to grace and magnifies it, rather than nullifies it.
-
The worship of daily obedience is not at bottom a burdensome giving to God, but a joyful getting from God. That is the true service that God demands.
-
Faith nullifies boasting and glorifies grace. Wherever faith looks, it sees grace behind every praiseworthy act. So it cannot boast, except in the Lord.
-
God has wise and holy purposes when he does not answer our prayers as we want. Trust him. He knows what he is doing.
-
The sovereign grace of God can turn the unplanned place and the unplanned pace into the happiest ending imaginable.
-
We can know that our sins are taken away and that we will be safe in the judgment, if we trust Christ in such a way that it makes us eager for his coming.
-
Patience is indeed a fruit of the Holy Spirit, but the Spirit empowers us (with all his fruit) through hearing with faith.
-
What feels to us like a waste is what God plans. He works through the most hopeless circumstances.
-
Our election is unconditional in the strictest sense. Neither our faith nor our obedience is the basis of it. It is free and utterly undeserved.
-
When we sit down to calculate the cost of following Jesus â when we weigh the âworstâ and the âbestâ â he is worth it. Abundantly worth it.
-
Jesus knows all his sheep by name; that is, he knows them individually and intimately.
