But our greatest need was forgiveness, so God sent us a Savior.” (Charles Sell) 

“All roads lead to God, but only one road leads to heaven.” (Greg Laurie)

“It is misleading to say that God accepts us the way we are. Rather he accepts us despite the way we are. He receives us only in Christ and for Christ's sake.

Without that transformation and new conformity of life we do not have any evidence that we were ever His in the first place.” (Dr. Sinclair Ferguson)

“Men are qualified for civil liberty in exact proportion to their disposition to put moral chains upon their appetites…Society cannot exist unless a controlling power upon will and appetite be placed somewhere, and the less of it there is within, the more there must be without. It is ordained in the eternal constitution of things, that men of intemperate minds cannot be free.” (Edmund Burke) 

“The ministry of God—feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, healing the sick—should never be separated from the message of God—to repent of our sin and believe that Jesus was who He claimed to be: the Son of God and the savior of the world.

“Yes, people will tell us they believe in a 'God of love.' But they are self-deceived, and their lives reveal it. They neither love Him with heart, soul, mind, and strength in return, nor do they worship Him with zeal and energy. The truth is that their mantra 'My God is a God of love' is a smokescreen, a phantasm of their imagination. Underneath it all is a deep mistrust of God—otherwise, why not yield the whole of life in joyful abandon to whatever He says or asks?” (Dr. Sinclair Ferguson)

“A lot of people think that Christianity is you doing all the righteous things you hate and avoiding all the wicked things you love in order to go to Heaven. No, that's a lost man with religion. A Christian is a person who's heart has been changed: they have new affections.” (Paul Washer)

“Both in Old Testament and New Testament thought there is but one sure foundation for a lasting civilization, and its cornerstone is a vital knowledge of the redemptive God. In both eras it is wrong to worship false gods, to murder, to commit adultery, and for a reason more ultimate than that the prophet Moses said so. These deeds were wrong before Moses, yea even before Adam; they have been wrong always, and will be wrong always, because they are antagonistic to the character and will of the sovereign God of the universe.” (Carl F.H. Henry)

“Conscience, Christ, and the gift of faith make evil men uneasy in their sin. They feel that if they could drive Christ from the earth, they would be free from 'moral inhibitions.' They forget that it is their own nature and conscience which makes them feel that way. Being unable to drive God from the heavens, they would drive his ambassadors from the earth. In a lesser sphere, that is why many men sneer at virtue--because it makes vice uncomfortable.” (Fulton Sheen)

“Immorality is expensive--in more ways than one!” (Trevor Grant Thomas)

“During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.” (George Orwell)

“There is no 'war on women.' The war is on their babies.” (Dr. Ben Carson)

1. What we want most;
2. What we think about most;

5. The company we enjoy;
6. Who and what we admire;
7. What we laugh at.” (A.W. Tozer)
8. What offends us. (Trevor Grant Thomas)

“The rule for all of us is perfectly simple. Do not waste time bothering whether you 'love' your neighbor; act as if you did. As soon as we do this we find one of the great secrets. When you are behaving as if you loved someone, you will presently come to love him.” (C.S. Lewis)

“According to Christian teachers, the essential vice, the utmost evil, is Pride. Unchastity, anger, greed, drunkenness, and all that, are mere fleabites in comparison; it was through Pride that the devil became the devil; Pride leads to every other vice; it is the complete anti-God state of mind.” (C.S. Lewis)

“Which is love: telling the truth or tolerating sin?” (Trevor Grant Thomas)

“A large number--if not the majority--of conditions that the mental health professionals treat as 'illnesses' or 'disorders' are simply undesirable character traits. When the APA excluded homosexuality from its list of psychiatric disorders, it did nothing more than shift from the column headed 'undesirable' to the column headed 'not undesirable.'” (Dr. Jeffrey Satinover)

“As we have seen in the case of homosexuality, for all the public fanfare, science has accomplished almost nothing we did not know from common sense: One's character traits are in part innate but are subject to modification by experience and choice.” (Dr. Jeffrey Satinover)

“Ultimately, any rootedness of homosexuality in nature does not remove it one whit from the domain of moral choice. In its genetic, familial, or psychological influences, homosexual impulses and behavior are no different than the many other natural behaviors that God, in spite of their naturalness, calls sin.” (Dr. Jeffrey Satinover)

“Why is it considered acceptable to carve up a person’s body to match their inner sense of self but bigoted to help them change their sense of self to match their body? Feelings can change. But the body is an observable fact that does not change. It makes sense to treat it as a reliable marker of sexual identity.” (Nancy Pearcey)

“Marriage is the oldest institution in the history of humanity--older than God's covenant with the nation of Israel, older than The Law, older than the church. Marriage is one of the earliest truths revealed by God. If ANYTHING is true, marriage as the union of one man and one woman is true. On this, there can NEVER be compromise.” (Trevor Grant Thomas)

“[T]o be skeptical of the resultant text of the New Testament books is to allow all of classical antiquity to slip into obscurity, for no documents of the ancient period are as well attested bibliographically as the New Testament.” (John Warwick Montgomery)

“It cannot be too strongly asserted that in substance the text of the Bible is certain: Especially is this the case with the New Testament. The number of manuscripts of the New Testament, of early translations from it, and of quotations from it in the oldest writers of the Church, is so large that it is practically certain that the true reading of every doubtful passage is preserved in some one or other of these ancient authorities. This can be said of no other ancient book in the world.” (Sir Frederic Kenyon)

“The Bible has always been regarded as part of the Common Law of England.” (Sir William Blackstone from his Commentaries on the Laws of England)

“There is a Book worth all other books which were ever printed.” (Patrick Henry) 

“First one starts questioning, based on what the world around us is saying, then one looks at Scripture, then theology, then scientific study—until finally what the Scriptures teach is completely subjected to whatever view is currently accepted by the world.” (Francis Schaeffer)

“Who decides what is right and wrong in the world? Who has the authority to define morality for all of creation? It is not the courts, congress, the media, public opinion, the 'politically correct' police, the 'tolerance' brigade or even the church. The only answer has been, is and always will be Jesus Christ. You can find His opinion on a great variety of subjects in His best seller... The Bible.” (Jeffrey E. Ramey)

“The word of God hidden in the heart is a stubborn voice to suppress.” (Billy Graham)

“The Bible is the written word of God, and because it is written it is confined and limited by the necessities of ink and paper and leather. The Voice of God, however, is alive and free as the sovereign God is free. 'The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.' The life is in the speaking words. God's word in the Bible can have power only because it corresponds to God's Word in the universe. It is the present Voice which makes the written word powerful. Otherwise it would lie locked in slumber within the covers of a book. ” (A. W. Tozer)

“Where the church is found, the Word of God is honored, preached, taught, cherished, obeyed, and believed.” (Al Mohler) 

“The Bible is a wonderful book. It is the truth about the Truth. It is not the Truth. A sermon taken from the Bible can be a wonderful thing to hear. It is the truth about the truth about the truth. But it is not the truth. There have been many books written about the things contained in the Bible. I have written some myself. They can be quite wonderful to read. They are the truth about the truth about truth about the Truth. But they are NOT the Truth. Only Jesus Christ is the Truth. Sometimes the Truth can be drowned in a multitude of words. ” (Richard Wurmbrand)
