“The Lord accomplishes great things through weak people...What is required of His people is an obedient spirit, not a roster of tremendous gifts and abilities.”
“Liberty does not mean doing as you like, it means liking as you ought, and doing that.(From Slave)”
“Contrary to popular opinion, the most important characteristic of a godly mother is not her relationship with her children. It is her love for her husband. The love between husband and wife is the real key to a thriving family. A healthy home environment cannot be built exclusively on the parents' love for their children. The properly situated family has marriage at the center; families shouldn't revolve around the children.”
“We should not be entertained by the sins for which Christ died.”
“He that lacks assurance of God's love, converses too much with Satan”
“What you cant forget... God cant remember!”
“Prayer is the spontaneous response of the believing heart to God. Those truly transformed by Jesus Christ find themselves lost in wonder and joy of communion with Him. Prayer is as natural for the Christian as breathing”
“Adam was refined dirt; Eve was a glorious refinement of humanity itself. -John MacArthur, Twelve Extraordinary Women”
“It wasn't a potential atonement actuated by the sinner, it was an actual atonement initiated by the savior.”
“The true gospel is a call to self-denial. It is not a call to self-fulfillment.”
“If I’m not showing grace . . . have I forgotten the grace I’ve been shown?”
“Once I was free in the shackles of sin:Free to be tempted, just bound to give in;Free to be captive to any desire;Free to eternally burn in hell’s fire.‘Til Someone bought me and called me His slave:Bound by commands I am free to obey;Captive by beauty I’m free to adore--Sentenced to sit at His feet evermore.”
“People act what they truly believe.”
“Jesus Christ is not just 'my personal Savior'. He is Lord.”
“You can’t confuse childlike faith with childish thinking.”
