“The kingdom of God is advancing wherever Christ is honored, and the church is faithful. Jesus serves His people and expands His kingdom as the good news goes forth and lives are transformed.” —Mark Dever

“The effect of the word of God is not the same in every heart. There are different kinds of soil. The same seed is sown, but the condition of the heart determines the effect. And Jesus tells this parable so that we will examine ourselves and ask what kind of soil we are.” –John Piper

“The whole Bible is a picture of Christ. He is the sum and substance of it. Every text in Scripture points to him.” —Charles Haddon Spurgeon “We must read the Bible as a whole and see that it is the story of Christ.

His authority is not borrowed from human institutions nor derived from tradition; it belongs to Him by divine right. In Christ we see the King who rules not only over the church but over the entire cre...

“The good news is that the one and only God, who is holy, made us in his image to know him. But we sinned and cut ourselves off from him.

He rose again from the dead, showing t...

“Evangelical preaching ought to reflect our conviction that God’s Word is infallible and inerrant. Too often it does not. In fact, there is a discernable trend in contemporary evangelicalism away from biblical preaching and drift toward an experience-centered, pragmatic, topical approach in the pulpit.” ---John MacArthur

“Who is this person, pierced through, for whom the people mourn? The most natural reading of the Hebrew is that it is Yahweh himself: ‘They will look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn’ (12:10). At one level the ‘piercing’ can be understood metaphorically … But there is a more literal fulfillment, a more literal piercing (John 19:34, 37).” —D. A. Carson

"Whate'er my God ordains is right: Here shall my stand be taken. Though sorrow, need, or death be mine, Yet I am not forsaken. My Father's care is 'round me there; He holds me that I shall not fall. And so to Him, I leave it allAnd so to Him, I leave it all." —Samuel Rodigast, 1675

"God's gracious love, notwithstanding its sovereignty, is neither whimsical nor arbitrary. God's grace is experienced only in terms of Christ.
