“Every week I preach justification by faith to my people, because every week they forget it.”

Prayer is climbing up into the heart of God.

One is not righteous who does much, but the one who, without work, believes much in Christ. The law says, ‘Do this,’ and it is never done. Grace says, ‘Believe in this,’ and everything is already done.

We need to hear the Gospel every day, because we forget it every day.

A preacher must be both soldier and shepherd. He must nourish, defend, and teach; he must have teeth in his mouth, and be able to bite and fight.

We are not yet what we shall be, but we are growing toward it, the process is not yet finished.

God created the world out of nothing, and so long as we are nothing, He can make something out of us.

We are saved by faith alone, but the faith that saves is never alone.

When Satan tells me I am a sinner he comforts me immeasurably, since Christ died for sinners.

There is no justification without sanctification, no forgiveness without renewal of life, no real faith from which the fruits of new obedience do not grow.

Lord, grant that anger or other bitterness does not reign over us, but that your grace, genuine kindness, loyalty, and every kind of friendliness, generosity, and gentleness may reign in us. Amen

I know not the way God leads me, but well do I know my Guide.

God does not love sinners because they are attractive; sinners are attractive to God because he loves them.

Whatever you love most, that is your god.

You are not only responsible for what you say, but also for what you do not say.

A gospel that doesn’t deal with the issues of the day is not the gospel at all.

The most damnable and pernicious heresy that has ever plagued the mind of man was the idea that somehow he could make himself good enough to deserve to live with an all-holy God.

Absolute faith corrupts as absolutely as absolute power.

Show a little faith there is magic in the night. You ain’t a beauty, but hey you’re alright, and that’s alright with me.

The fire of affliction reveals the quality of our faith.

Its hard to believe but faith takes you long ways.

As far as possible, join faith to reason.

As far as possible, join faith to reason.

As far as possible, join faith to reason.

Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree.
