Nothing showcases the sinful nature of man more painfully than the story of the Golden Calf. Adultery during the actual wedding. This was a catastrophe so severe as to stand shoulder to shoulder with the fall of mankind in the garden and the destruction of the world by the flood. -Joel Richardson

Reputation is what men think we are. Character is what God knows we are. -Leonard Ravenhill

The reason we enjoy being loved and loving is because we were made in God’s image. -Billy Humphrey

Church was never supposed to be an institution, an organization, or a corporate entity. Church was always supposed to be family. -Billy Humphrey

What makes life "good" is not a particular set of circumstances, but how the heart interacts with them. -Timothy Keller

Worship and prayer draw the heart away from one’s own dependence to leaning on the sovereign God. To a person in need, pat answers don’t change the mind; worship does. -Ravi Zacharias

You can reject God by rejecting his law and living any way you see fit. And you can also reject God by embracing and obeying God’s law so as to earn your salvation. -Timothy Keller

“Christ went more willingly to the cross than we do to the throne of grace.” ― Thomas Watson 

“Aslan,” said Lucy, “you’re bigger.” “That is because you are older, little one,” answered he. “Not because you are?” “I am not. But every year you grow, you will find me bigger.”  

-CS Lewis

The word “together” appears 31 times (NKJV) in the book of Acts—much more than any other New Testament book. The early church was so powerful and fruitful because they were committed to unity (quite literally) at all costs. -DA Kistner

Had a most fervent wrestle with the Lord to-night for my enemies; and I hardly ever so longed to live to God, and to be altogether devoted to him; I wanted to wear out my life in his service, and for his glory. -David Brainerd

If Jesus didn't complain when He received a life infinitely worse than He deserved, why should we complain when all of us get a life infinitely better than we deserve?  -Timothy Keller

How do you change your behavior? Change what you worship. - Timothy Keller

Proper wedding vows are more a promise of mutually binding future love than a declaration of your present love. -Timothy Keller

The only reason a 3-person God would have had for creating us was not to get cosmic love and joy of relationship, but to share it. -Timothy Keller

“To preach Christianity meant (to the Apostles) primarily to preach the Resurrection…The Resurrection is the central theme in every Christian sermon reported in the Acts. The Resurrection, and its consequences, were the gospel or good news which the Christians brought.” -CS Lewis

The first witnesses to the resurrection did not expect to witness any sort of victory at the tomb. They arrived defeated, in great grief, and terribly afraid. If this is where Easter finds you today, there is yet room for you in this story. -Jill Carattini  

Death used to be an executioner. Now, because of the resurrection, he is just a gardener (to borrow from George Herbert). You don’t bury Christians; you only plant them. Our bodies do not become rotting corpses, but germinating seeds. No journey to the grave is one way. -Sam Allberry

God is loving yet holy.  

The cross reveals how he can be both.

-Timothy Keller

“The total evidence is so overpowering, so absolute that only the shallowest of intellects would dare to deny Jesus’ existence.” -- historian Paul Maier

The Christian community is a community of the cross, for it has been brought into being by the cross, and the focus of its worship is the Lamb once slain, now glorified. - John Stott 

When the city of Jerusalem crucified Him, Jesus repaid them by pouring out His Spirit on the city on the day of Pentecost, Acts 2. -Bob Sorge

His cross is all the inspiration you need to endure your cross. -Bob Sorge

Where the shadow of Old Testament ignorance falls, preterism often finds a safe haven. Where the full story of redemption is known, preterism cannot survive.  -Joel Richardson

Calvary is a mountain of contradictions. Life dies; good is defeated; righteousness is made sin; light is overcome by darkness; God is God-forsaken; the Son of the Blessed is cursed; the Unbeatable is beaten; the accusation written against Him isn’t even an accusation. -Bob Sorge

When your hands are nailed to a tree, you don’t hold onto anything. The crucified life clings to nothing in this life. -Bob Sorge

“Cross loving men are needed.” —Hudson Taylor
