Even Christians who refuse to indulge personally in sinful sexual activity often watch movies and shows, read books and articles, and visit Internet sites that highlight, display, promote, or make light of sexual immorality. It’s as if we’ve said to the world, “We’re not going to do what you do, but we will gladly entertain ourselves by watching you.” It’s sick, isn’t it, this tendency that brings delight to us when we observe others in sexual sin?

Samuel Rutherford
Howbeit your faith seeth but the black side of Providence, yet it hath a better side, and God shall let you see it. We know that all things work together for good to them that love God; hence I infer that losses, disappointments, ill tongues, loss of friends, houses or country, are God's workmen, set on work to work out good to you, out of everything that befalleth you.
Samuel Rutherford
Henry Drummond
Nothing that happens in the world happens by chance. God is a God of order. Everything is arranged upon definite principles, and never at random. The world, even the religious world, is governed by law. Character is governed by law. Happiness is governed by law. The Christian experiences are governed by law.
Henry Drummond
Dwight L. Moody
The most solemn truth in the gospel is that the only thing Christ left down here is His blood.

Mark Dever, Nine Marks of a Healthy Church, Crossway, 2000, p. 123.
The Christian call to evangelism is a call not simply to persuade people to make decisions but rather to proclaim to them the Good News of salvation in Christ, to call them to repentance, and to give God the glory for regeneration and conversion. We don’t fail in our evangelism if we faithfully present the Gospel and yet the person is not converted; we fail only if we don’t faithfully present the Gospel at all.
Mark Dever, Nine Marks of a Healthy Church, Crossway, 2000, p. 123.
« Ainsi, pour être une question de foi, la résurrection n’est pas pour autant un élément périphérique de la foi, mais le fondement du christianisme. Il faut choisir : ou partager la foi et l’espérance des apôtres, ou partager le doute des incrédules ou des égarés ! »
Brunot Gaudelet, in La revue de théologie de la Faculté Jean Calvin
Charles Spurgeon
I thought I could have leaped from earth to heaven at one spring when I first saw my sins drowned in the Redeemer's blood.
Charles Spurgeon
John MacArthur
If you wrongly judge Christ, He will rightly judge you… All men render a verdict on Christ…and it is a verdict that has massive consequences for eternity.
John MacArthur
C.S. Lewis
Christ, because He was the only Man who never yielded to temptation, is also the only Man who knows to the full what temptation means.
C.S. Lewis
Lee Roberson
Know the promises of God. The great and mighty promises of our Father mean nothing to most people because they do not know what they are.

It is true that we may desire much more. But let us use what we have, and God will give us more.

James H. Aughey
God makes crosses of great variety; He makes some of iron and lead, that look as if they must crush; some of straw, that seem so light, and yet are no less difficult to carry; some He makes of precious stones and gold, that dazzle the eye and excite the envy of spectators, but in reality are as well able to crucify as those which are so much dreaded.

Donald S. Whitney, Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life, 1991, p. 112-113.
I contend that many Christians want to speak to others about the Lord but do not for fear that the observable, daily sin in their lives is too contradictory for them to witness….If God does not use sinners as His witnesses, there will be no human witnesses, since there are no perfect people…This does not change the fact that the more Christlike our lives, the more convincing our words about Christ. We need to do what we can to eliminate any sin that makes our words look inconsistent. But while attempting to do that we must be convinced that we cannot delay our witnessing until we reach sinless perfection. Otherwise, we would never share the gospel! Part of the beauty of our message is that God saves sinners, sinners like us.
Donald S. Whitney, Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life, 1991, p. 112-113.
La famille de Dieu est ethniquement et culturellement diverse. En tant que chrétiens, non seulement nous permettons cette diversité, mais nous la chérissons. C'est parce que Dieu lui-même chérit la diversité ethnique. Il n'est pas daltonien, il est coloré. Sur son trône, Dieu accueille des adorateurs "de toute nation, de toute tribu, de tout peuple et de toute langue" (Ap 7,9). Son plan de rédemption est destiné aux peuples du monde dans toute leur riche variété.
Philip Graham Ryken, Is Jesus the Only Way ? Crossway, 1999, p. 29.
The family of God is ethnically and culturally diverse. As Christians we not only permit such diversity, but we cherish it. This is because God Himself cherishes ethnic diversity. He is not color-blind; He is colorful. At His throne God welcomes worshipers “from every nation, tribe, people and language” (Rev. 7:9). His plan of redemption is for the peoples of the world in all their rich variety.

Let us not ask of the Lord deceitful riches, nor the good things of this world, nor transitory honors; but let us ask for light.

When God created the world, Genesis 1:27 tells us that He “created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.” We have been created with gender distinction, but not race distinction. We are all in the human race. And unlike the rest of creation, all humans have been made in God’s image. To elevate animals above humans or to elevate one skin tone above another, reveals a failure to understand and appreciate the intrinsic God-given value of all human beings.
