“Holiness is not the way to Christ. Christ is the way to holiness.”

Men have laughed at it, they have scorned it, they have ridiculed it, they have made laws against it.

I know personally the transforming power of the Word of God-it’s changed my life.

Jesus did not bathe this planet with his blood to have you serve the world, the flesh, and the devil.

Each of us needs to take ourselves by the nap of our necks and confess and repent before we come into God’s holy presence to fellowship.

Give God what’s right, not what’s left!

Don’t let a little sin in; all hell will break loose.

The gospel is simply glorious and gloriously simple.

I’m not always what I think I am, but I am what I think.

Men throw broken things away, but God never uses anything until he first breaks it.

You don’t make Him Lord. He’s Lord already. You just recognize it.

If you make your decisions based on comfort, before long you will be uncomfortable.

Our great need is to discover that Jesus is all we need.

Some people brighten up a room just by leaving it.

I have an official record. I have the Word of God: “These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God: that ye may know that ye have eternal life.”

You see, there is no fruit without life. You cannot manufacture patience. The fruit of the Spirit is patience.

I believe that a great number of people are going to die and go to hell because they’re counting on their religiosity in the church instead of their relationship with Jesus to get them to heaven.

There is no circumstance, no trouble, no testing, that can ever touch me until, first of all, it has gone past God and past Christ, right through to me.

Scripture is so counter culture. Christ was counter culture. It’s not like we’re supposed to be weird or anything, but as we grow closer to Christ.

He deeper and more staggering can be his collapse. There is never a day in any man’s life but that he is dependent upon the grace of God for power and the blood of Jesus for cleansing.

I am eternally secure. I gave my heart to Christ and that gift of salvation is irrevocable.

I think we as believers can be secure in our relationship with Christ. I’m not saying that sin isn’t sin.

There wasn’t reparative therapy in Corinth. So in this passage I think people came to Christ and experienced a new life in him apart from the therapeutic process.

I believe in sanctification at the point of salvation. That doesn’t mean that we don’t continue to mature as believers in Christ. But I believe that we are justified and we are sanctified.

The point that I’m trying to make is that we as believers can have security in Christ when we are believers.
