We must give up the vain idea of trying to please everybody. That is impossible, and the attempt is a mere waste of time. We must be content to walk in Christ’s steps and let the world say what it likes. J. C. Ryle

Perhaps one of the most comforting questions you can ask someone today is, “How can I pray for you?”

If you do not believe the first verse of the Bible, you do not believe the rest of it. H. B. Charles Jr.

The more you are in God's Word, the more you are controlled by God rather than by men.

Of all the privileges we can have on earth, the most significant is to be raised by a mom and dad who love each other, stay together, teach us the Bible, and take us to church.

Every problem in the world boils down to sin. Economic. Political. Social. Familial. Personal. It’s all sin. You cannot abate sin with programs, education, or money. The only way to deal with sin is through a bloody cross. The only hope is Jesus Christ and Him crucified.

It’s not enough to find a church that preaches the Word. Find a church that also practices the Word.

No one “walks away” from Christ who genuinely has Christ.

The “modern Jesus” is too kind to confront sin, too weak to address error, and too powerless to achieve real change without our agendas aiding him. Only the biblical Jesus is the answer.

You’ll never win someone to Christ by lowering your standards. You’re not going to bring someone to Jesus by becoming more like them. If you become too much like them, then why would they ever want to become like you?

Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. Proverbs 3:5-6

The moment the church loses confidence in the gospel to transform the human condition is the moment she has nothing to say.

God sees the desires of your heart. If it matters to you, it matters to Him.

Shepherds who faithfully guard, suffer, resist the devil, watch, teach, exhort, exercise oversight, and humbly submit to our Lord will “receive the unfading crown of glory” (1 Pt 5:4). Press on, brothers!

The Holy Spirit does not reveal anything fresh and new. He brings old things to our remembrance. Charles H. Spurgeon

We've become so sidetracked fighting with each other that we've forgotten that there are 3.23 billion people who have never heard the gospel of Christ.

If credentials are required to proclaim the truth, Peter, James, John, Andrew, Bartholomew, James the Less, Jude, Matthew, Philip, Simon, and Thomas would have all been unqualified.

You will become more like whatever you set your heart on this year.

Happy birthday PA!

Woke up this morning to news of the disastrous presidential debate, rising COVID cases, more economic disaster, ... Then I began to hear the birds outside in carefree chatter –– "Look at the birds of the air, your heavenly Father feeds them" (Mt 6:26). God is on His throne!
