Inspirational Quotes by John MacArthur
“El amar la predicación es una cosa, el amar a quienes se predica es algo completamente distinto. El”
“Todos miramos con indignación al abogado o al juez que, a raíz de la búsqueda de riquezas particulares, distorsionan la verdad al atacar la reputación y las posesiones personales de la gente, a medida que las reducen a la pobreza. Respondemos con una indignación parecida ante el médico farsante que, por incompetente, pone en peligro la salud y la vida de alguien en busca de ganancias financieras. Esas personas merecen ser consideradas como criminales;”
“The benefits of a pure conscience comprise some of the greatest blessings of the Christian life.”
― John MacArthur ,
“Most women were treated as nothing more than lowly slaves or animals, and husbands often bought, traded, or even disposed of their wives at will.”
“The believer who doesn’t live in the confidence of God’s sovereignty will lack God’s peace and be left to the chaos of a troubled heart. But our confident trust in the Lord will allow us to thank Him in the midst of trials because we have God’s peace on duty to protect our hearts.”
“Pero, ¿y qué de mí como suministrador de la verdad de Dios, el médico del alma? ¿Acaso no soy responsable ante Dios por cualquier perversión de la verdad, independientemente de cuán tonta sea, y también por mi negligencia e incapacidad? ¿Qué asociación terrenal me regula?”
“These days, when sinners seek help from churches and other Christian agencies, they are likely to be told that their problem is some emotional disorder or psychological syndrome. They might be encouraged to forgive themselves and told they ought to have more self-love and self-esteem. They are not as likely to hear that they must repent and humbly seek God’s forgiveness in Christ. That is such an extraordinary change of direction for the church that even secular observers have noticed it. Wendy”

“Timothy was to instruct the women to “adorn themselves with proper clothing.” “Adorn” is from kosmiø (), from which we derive our English word cosmetic. It means “to arrange,” “to put in order,” or “to make ready.” A woman must prepare herself properly for the worship service. Part of that preparation involves the wearing of “proper clothing.” “Proper” comes from kosmeø (), the adjectival form of kosmiø (), and could be translated “well-ordered.” The Greek word translated “clothing” encompasses not only clothing but also demeanor and action. Women”
“Hasta hace unos quince años los cristianos veían a la psicología como algo hostil al evangelio. Permítase que alguien que profesa el nombre de Jesús bautice la psicología secular y la presente como algo compatible con la verdad de la Escritura, y la mayoría de los cristianos se sentirán felices tragándose una cicuta teológica en forma de «intuiciones psicológicas». Durante los últimos 15 años las iglesias han tendido a depender más y más de los consejeros pastorales entrenados [...] Para mí esto parece indicar debilidad en o indiferencia hacia la predicación expositiva dentro de las iglesias evangélicas [...] ¿Por qué tenemos que recurrir a las ciencias humanas? ¿Por qué? Porque por años no hemos expuesto el todo de la Escritura. Porque debido a nuestra débil exposición y nuestras charlas temáticas superficiales hemos producido una generación de ovejas cristianas sin pastor. Y ahora nos estamos maldiciendo a nosotros mismos más profundamente que nunca por haber recurrido a la sabiduría del mundo.”
“Guilt is a spiritual pain in the soul that tells us something is evil and needs to be confronted and cleansed. To”

“If you are focused on worshipping God, you won’t have to worry about how you dress because your commitment will dictate your wardrobe.”
“growth through the spiritual disciplines of prayer, Bible study, communion with God, fellowship with other believers, and dependence on Christ.”

“The unique contribution of Bible exposition is its substantial enhancement of the listeners' comprehension of Scripture's intent. Those who listen to expository preaching have opportunity to submit to the Holy Spirit who first inspired the text as He now illumines that text to them. This is the best avenue for building up the saints. The New Testament puts heavy emphasis on using the mind as the principal avenue to Christian growth (for example, Rom. 12:2; 1 Pet. 1:13), so the preacher should do the same.”
“The peace that God gives is not subject to the vicissitudes of life. It is a spiritual peace; it is an attitude of heart and mind when we believe and thus know deep down that all is well between ourselves and God. Along with it is the assurance that He is lovingly in control of everything. We as Christians should know for sure that our sins are forgiven, that God is concerned with our well-being, and that heaven is our destiny. God’s peace is our possession and privilege by divine right. Let’s first consider its origin.”
“Children used to be unknowing and innocent when it came to certain issues in life. But that innocence has been lost in today’s electronic environment. Kids are exposed to ideas and content their minds and emotions are not ready to handle. And under the onslaught of this corrupt world with its wrong concepts, wrong desires, wrong deeds, and wrong attitudes, children come under all sorts of negative influences that end up bringing serious problems into the home.”
― John MacArthur ,
“Certainly no one should take delight in disputes over minor points. It is undoubtedly true that the regulative principle has occasionally been misused in that way. An obsession with applying any principle down to the smallest detail can easily become a destructive form of legalism. But the principle of sola scriptura as it applies to worship is nevertheless worth defending fiercely.”
“Exposition presupposes an exegetical process to extract the God-intended meaning of Scripture and an explanation of that meaning in a contemporary way.”
“In the Tabernacle there were no seats. The Israelites didn’t go there to sit and be ministered to, and they certainly didn’t go there for entertainment. They went there to worship God and serve Him. If they had a meeting for any other purpose, they had it somewhere else.”
“Una historia de los expositores bíblicos debe incluir a Cristo, que es tanto el modelo de la predicación como el mensaje a predicarse.”
