Quotable

Many Christians have the misconception that to win the world to Christ we must first...make unconverted sinners feel comfortable with the Christian message.... Give them something they want. Put on a show. Entertain them. Avoid sensitive subjects like sin and damnation....The strategy is to tantalize non-Christians rather than confront their unbelief. That is altogether incompatible with sound doctrine. It is compromise with the world. James called it spiritual adultery.

John MacArthur, Reckless Faith: When the Church Loses its Will to Discern

It is no sin to doubt some things, but it may be fatal to believe everything.

A. W. Tozer, The Root of the Righteous

When Christ hung on the Cross He not only made provision for the removal of the weight of our sin, but also for the indwelling presence of the Spirit in the heart; for joy unspeakable and full of glory; for peace that passeth all understanding; for strength to make us more than conquerors through Him that loved us; in short, He blessed us with all spiritual blessings in the Heavenly places in Himself. If you do not have these joys you are not getting out of Christianity that which God desired you to have.
