God’s actually more committed to this relationship than you. -Bob Sorge

"A revival is nothing else than a new beginning of obedience to God." —Charles Finney 

The top three most essential virtues for a Christian are: humility, humility, and humility. - St. Augustine

You may judge a man by what he groans after. -Spurgeon

“Oh, my brethren, if we would only stop trying to make the Holy Spirit our servant and begin to live in His life as the fish lives in the sea, we would enter into the riches of glory about which we know nothing now.” — A. W. Tozer 

In the age to come, not only will we sing the Lord’s praises, but He also will sing over His people. (Zephaniah 3:17) So unfathomably glorious.  -Joel Richardson

“Are we truly obeying the command to love our neighbor as ourselves if we're storing up money for potential future needs when our neighbor is laboring today under actual present needs?” -Randy Alcorn 

At Christ’s death, the way into the Holy of Holies was torn open (Mt 27:51); at His resurrection, the way out of Hades was torn open. Little wonder that both caused an earthquake. -Bob Sorge

Since the end will not come until the number of Christians is complete who are to be killed for Jesus (Revelation 6:11), therefore, every pastor should preach so as to help people be ready to fulfill this necessity. -John Piper

Young evangelicals: If you come to a crossroads and are faced with a choice to follow a) a savvy young blogger who has cool new ideas that upend biblical and confessional doctrine, or b) an apostle crucified upside-down for undying fidelity to Jesus Christ, choose wisely.

-Owen Stratchan

Nothing collides more with the claim that Jesus died so we can live our “best life now” than the statement, “if Christ was not raised from the dead, then we of all people are to be pitied.”  -Joel Richardson

I would rather stand before God one day and have Him say, "You were more careful with your standards than you needed to be," than have Him say, "You fool! You blew it all!" -Dr. Michael Brown

"If the Holy Spirit was withdrawn from the church today, 95% of what we do would go on and no one would know the difference. If the Holy Spirit had been withdrawn from the New Testament church, 95% of what they did would stop, and everybody would know the difference."- A.W. Tozer 

The Firstfruits of the Spirit

The Great Gentile Lie (2 Thess 2:11)

“If then David calls him Lord, how is he his son?” Matthew 22:45. By means of the Lord’s incarnation as human son. Let every knee bow!  -John Piper

If your friends value what you do outwardly more than who you are inwardly, it’s time to find some new friends.  -Scott Volk

The power of the communion meal is the manner in which it shouts to all Saints the high cost of intimate fellowship with an astonishingly Holy God. This is "remembered" in light of a future meal with our King made possible through the finished work of the Cross.  -Dave Sliker

“There was an extremeness in the hopefulness of Jesus that sets him apart from all other men who expect lesser glories or more frequently, no glory at all.” — H. Richard Niebuhr 

The two foundational elements of classical premillennialism are simple:

1) The meek shall inherit the earth, not a disembodied, nebulous existence in the spirit realm. 2) God isn’t done with Israel. The chastisements that befell them in the 1st century were only partial and temporary. 

-Joel Richardson

— Francis Chan
