“La soberanía que puede detener el coronavirus, y no lo ha hecho, es la misma soberanía que sostiene el alma en medio de la pandemia.”

“I have no sure sight of God's glory except through his word. The word mediates the glory, and the glory confirms the word.”

“If I were to put my finger on one devastating sin today, it would not be the so-called women's movement, but the lact of spiritual leaderhsip by men at home and in the church,”

“Sin is what you do when your heart is not satisfied with God.”

“Jesus’s solution to our love affair with sin is that we be mastered by joy in a new reality, namely, God.”

“Make this the year you stop complaining about your weaknesses, and instead search for their God-given purpose.”

“A thousand sorrows prepares a man to preach.”

“God is not looking for people to work for him, so much as he is looking for people ho will let him work for them. The gospel is not a Help Wanted ad. Neither is the call to to Christian service. On the contrary, the gospel commands us to give up and hang out a Help Wanted sign (this is the basic meaning of prayer). Then the gospel promises that God will work for us if we do. He will not surrender the glory of being the Giver.”

“The Spirit inspired the Word and therefore He goes where the Word goes. The more of God's Word you know and love, the more of God's Spirit you will experience.”

“The great end of the gospel is holiness and happiness. It is the complete restoration of the soul to the image of God. It sets aright all the evil in this world. The plan has been put in motion, the payment price of the cross has been made. The wedding feast has been planned. The all-sufficient Husband is in place.29”

“In his work on the sinner’s soul, Christ remakes the heart of stone into a heart of flesh, and he opens the sinner’s eyes to the incredible riches of God’s Word. This divine illumination comes from Christ alone as the Logos, or Word. Christ is our all-sufficient Prophet, our teacher, and the self-disclosure of the invisible God (John 8:26; 14:9; 17:8). Christ is the telescope by which we see God in creation, and the clue that leads us through the history of divine providence. Through Christ the Bible is applied to the hearts and lives of Christians.”

“And yet for all his help, we are enigmatic friends in return. We are forgetful and faithless and disloyal, but our neglect and distrust and disobedience does not diminish his love for us. He is steadfast. He’s the Friend we wish we could be. He’s the all-sufficient Friend we need. And if he were not, he would surely “spurn us from his sight.”46 Christ is the perfect Friend.”

“The Christian life is a training of the intellect and the affections. And those must rise together. Warm affection with spiritual ignorance is an emotional superstition. True spiritual knowledge that fails to warm the affections is hypocritical knowledge.”

“So for now, the full and dazzling work of Christ precedes every step of our Christian lives and directs all our aims and pursuits.”

“In these experiences we feel our sin again, and by them we feel our need for the delivering power of Christ again. These experiences are meant to humble and benefit us, ultimately building our assurance in Christ rather than destroying us, and we should never lose heart in the darkness. “For sin the Lord will often hide his face and permit dark clouds to hang over us. Yet we must not give way. We cannot recover ourselves but by believing.” But God is genuinely grieved by our willful sins, a profoundly important reality in the Christian life well captured by Puritan Thomas Watson: “The sins of God’s own children go nearer to his heart.”56”

“In his cross and resurrection, Christ has taken our sin-sick hearts under his care, and he will not finish until the cure is complete (Phil. 1:6).”

“The gospel is: a Christ-centered story to be told a hope-filled message to be proclaimed a revealed truth to be defended a new status to be received a transformed life to be lived a divine power to be celebrated.12”

“Yet this book is written in the desire—perhaps in a measure of inner certainty—that we shall see the great Head of the Church once more bring into being His special instruments of revival, that He will again raise up unto Himself certain young men whom He may use in this glorious employ. And what manner of men will they be? Men mighty in the Scriptures, their lives dominated by a sense of the greatness, the majesty and holiness of God, and their minds and hearts aglow with the great truths of the doctrines of grace. They will be men who have learned what it is to die to self, to human aims and personal ambitions; men who are willing to be “fools for Christ’s sake”, who bear reproach and falsehood, who will labour and suffer, and whose supreme desire will be, not to gain earth’s accolades, but to win the Master’s approbation when they appear before His awesome judgment seat. They will be men who will preach with broken hearts and tear-filled eyes, and upon whose ministries God will grant an extraordinary effusion of the Holy Spirit, and who will witness “signs and wonders following” in the transformation of multitudes of human lives.”

“what makes the prosperity gospel so attractive is that it caters to the desires of the fallen human heart. It promises much while requiring little. It panders to the flesh.”

“Why refer to the prosperity gospel phenomenon as a “parallel, post-biblical Christianity”? When you stop to look inside these churches, you hear Christian-like things and you see Christian-like activities.”
