Healing flows to us from the very place where Jesus was wounded (His stripes). In the same way, your place of wounding will become a source of healing for others. - Chris Reed

“A preacher is effective when he (1) expounds Scriptural truth accurately, (2) adapts his message to the needs and capacities of his audience, and (3) speaks out of a heart on fire with the Holy Spirit.” – Tim Keller

Life comes with a built in 100% chance of death. But those who believe they will rise again, like a seed that is buried in the ground, live very different today. - David Brymer

A bible verse christians love to quote proving Jesus is the messiah and God, is Micah 5:2. Micah 5 then goes on saying this messiah delivers Israel from The Assyrian. -TJBSewob

I told preachers yesterday, I said: "Dear brother, you get people to the altar, they go out and they’re smiling, they don’t know a thing! They just said 'Jesus I’m sorry.' Does that get rid of a million sins? Repent! Not only repent, but restitution!" I would have people stand at the altar and turn to the congregation and say, “Here I renounce the World, the Flesh, and the Devil. I put off the Old Man. I put on the New Man. I believe that even as I pray the blood is cleansing me and Christ is going to take up his abode in me.” - Leonard Ravenhill

People have said to me for fifty years, ‘Why do you stress prayer so much?’ Because Jesus did.

When Jesus was being baptized in Jordan he was PRAYING when the Spirit descended on him. At the end of his journey on the cross, Luke says “As he died he was PRAYING ‘Father, forgive them.’” He went to the mount of Transfiguration, and as he was PRAYING he was transfigured. Luke emphasizes every event in the life of Jesus with PRAYER. - Leonard Ravenhill

Five lies of identity from Henry Nouwen via Lee Strobel:

1) I am what I have 2) I am what I do 3) I am what other people say or think of me 4) I am nothing more than my worst moment 5) I am nothing less than my best moment.

My teaching on Psalm 45. Notes. Audio. Audio 2

I’ve travelled far. I’ve preached in many of the biggest churches in the world, and met some of the great preachers, but I never judge a man by his preaching. Let me pray with him and I’ll tell you what kind of a man he is. - Leonard Ravenhill

When you fear the Lord, He teaches you (Ps 25:12). He draws from His library of wisdom. - Bob Sorge

It takes courage to wait on God! Ps 27:14 - Bob Sorge

It is incredible and truly remarkable to reflect on the humility of God. Christ as our Servant. He came to earth to serve the 1st time (Mark 10:45). His second coming is TO SERVE (Luke 12:35-37) and to lead the earth as King of kings who is the SERVANT of Rulers (Isaiah 49:7). - Stuart Greaves

Theology 101: If the Lord said something in the Old Testament, the idea that it doesn’t count unless it’s also in the New Testament is absolutely bogus. - Joel Richardson

“Today God is bypassing men - not because they are too ignorant, but because they are too self-sufficient. Brethren, our abilities are our handicaps, and our talents our stumbling blocks!” Leonard Ravenhill, Why Revival Tarries

“A woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to him, ‘Blessed is the womb that bore you, and the breasts at which you nursed!’ But he said, ‘Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it!’” Luke 11:27–28

Think what good news this is to a disconnected nobody. -John Piper

“Most (early) Jewish interpretations of the messianic age...parallel more closely that of the Christian..premillennial view.” (Blomberg, Chung, p. 42)

Christians didn’t invent premillennialism. It was the most prominent view in early streams of Judaism that even Jesus himself identified with. - Travis W Snow

When Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the covenant law in his hands, he was not aware that his face was radiant because he had spoken with the Lord. When Aaron and all the Israelites saw Moses, his face was radiant...

As [Jesus] was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became as bright as a flash of lightning. Two men, Moses and Elijah, appeared in glorious splendor, talking with Jesus.

-TJSewob

 

We don’t often think in these terms, but holiness actually brings the most peace. When we’re tempted to sin we should ask ourselves: is it worth losing my peace over this? Because sin will always steal our internal and external peace, sooner or later... -Travis M Snow

“We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on you.” 2 Chronicles 20:12

How often have we said over the years: when we don’t know what to do, we know what to do — we look to you. - John Piper

Paul not only says, “I have all” he says, “I abound — I not only abound, I’m full.” (Phil. 4:18). Here’s a shirtless, homeless, money-less, wife-less, childless, position-less, possession-less man, SINGING IN GLORY! - Leonard Ravenhill

"God and the Jewish people have a broken marriage, and the world is suffering through the effects of a broken marriage." - Mark Klafter

You can disagree, but I’m convinced the sign of God’s blessing in the Old Testament was prosperity. The sign of God’s blessing in the New Testament is adversity. What’s your breaking point? - Leonard Ravenhill

“Do not fear those who kill the body, and after that have nothing more that they can do.” Luke 12:4

In other words: Fear not. You can only be killed. - John Piper

Why do many people pray for revival yet reject it when it comes? It is too disruptive, too demanding. The fire is too hot. The presence is too holy. - Dr. Micheal Brown

“A voice came out of the cloud, saying, ‘This is my Son, my Chosen One; listen to him!’” Luke 9:35

God Almighty, the Creator of the universe, could have said 1000 things. But he said, “Listen to Jesus.” -John Piper

"As I read the birth stories about Jesus, I cannot help but conclude that though the world may be tilted toward the rich and powerful, God is tilted toward the underdog." -- Philip Yancey

If Jesus was really, bodily raised from the dead according to the Scriptures, then evil and injustice will be vanquished forever--- and death and suffering banished forever. Everything will be all right.

-Timothy Keller

We are merely stewards of whatever gifts God has given to us in order to help our neighbors…we must submit concern for our own well-being to the good of others. – John Calvin

Redemptive history has not been playing out ambiguously or aimlessly. God is acting in the bounds of his covenant with Israel.

In the same way, the end of the age will not play out ambiguously or aimlessly. God will continue to act within the bounds of his covenant with Israel.

-Josh Hawkins

“The [only] hill we die on is the beauty and supremacy of Jesus.” - Isaac Bennet

You know everyone is a servant until they get treated like one. -Stuart Greaves

The law says, “do this”, and it is never done. Grace says, “believe in this”, and everything is already done. (Luther, Heidelberg Disputation)
