A liberal Protestant, a liberal Catholic, and a liberal Jew can agree on almost everything, because they believe almost nothing!
Proclaiming A Cross-Centered Theology (24)Liberal Theology0Proclaiming A Cross-Centered Theology (24)
Your belief is a miracle! You didn't choose it. Of course if you have a theology that says 'I did it' then you have no testimony to the power of God in your life!
June 8 2011 Sermon (Minute 31)Salvation0June 8 2011 Sermon (Minute 31)
Maybe the atheist cannot find God for the same reason a thief cannot find a policeman.
Unbelief0God intentionally designed salvation so that no man can boast of it. He didn't merely arrange it so that boasting would be discouraged, or kept to a minimum-He planned it so that boasting would be absolutely excluded! Election does precisely that.
Salvation0Salvation is a free gift, but an empty hand must receive it, and not a hand which still tightly grasps the world.
Salvation0The only thing you contribute to your salvation is your sin!
Salvation0What you win people with is what you win people to.
Apologetics0Salvation always results because God first pursues sinners, not because sinners first seek God.
Gospel According to Jesus 3e(86)Salvation0Gospel According to Jesus 3e(86)
In modern day evangelism, this precious doctrine [of regeneration] has been reduced to nothing more than a human decision to raise one's hand, walk an aisle, or pray a "sinner's prayer." As a result, the majority of Americans believe that they've been "born again" even though their thoughts, words, and deeds are a continual contradiction to the nature and will of God.
Salvation0The church is a hospital for sinners, not a museum for saints.

If we know nothing of these things, we shall know nothing whatever of Christian matters, and shall be far behind all people upon the earth.
The Bondage of the Will (31)Salvation0The Bondage of the Will (31)
it is not irreligious, curious, or superfluous, but essentially wholesome and necessary, for a Christian to know, whether or not the will does anything in those things which pertain unto salvation.
The Bondage of the Will (31)Salvation0The Bondage of the Will (31)
He Himself took on Him the burden of our iniquities, He gave His own Son as a ransom for us, the holy One for transgressors, the blameless One for the wicked, the righteous One for the unrighteous, the incorruptible One for the corruptible, the immortal One for those who are mortal. For what other thing was capable of covering our sins than His righteousness? By what other one was it possible that we, the wicked and ungodly, could be justified, than by the only Son of God? O sweet exchange! O unsearchable operation! O benefits surpassing all expectation! That the wickedness of many should be hid in a single righteous One, and that the righteousness of One should justify many transgressors!

O Hell, I see thee surging round; But in my Lord a cleft I've found, A solid, sure abiding place From which my enemy I face, As here with Thee at God's right hand, I on Thy Calvary-Victory stand.
Gospel0I was dying in my sins, hopeless, helpless, and on the brink of eternal fire. It was Jesus Christ who delivered me with the hand of His grace, and plucked me from everlasting burnings. It was Jesus Christ who placed me, a poor sinful worm, near the heart of His love. Stranger, that is the reason why I talk of Jesus Christ and make much of Him. I am not ashamed of it, because I love Him.
Holiness (Chapter 15)Salvation0Holiness (Chapter 15)
In election we behold God the Father in choosing; in vocation, God the Son teaching; in justification, God the Holy Ghost sealing; in salvation, the whole deity crowning. God chooses of His love, Christ calls by His word, the Spirit seals by His grace. Now the fruit of all this, of God's love choosing, of Christ's word calling, of the Spirit's grace sanctifying is our eternal glory and blessedness in heaven.
Salvation0Comparison is the thief of joy.
Envy, Coveting0Let Him make anything out of me, so being He be glorified in my salvation: for I know I am made for Him.
The Loveliness of ChristSalvation0The Loveliness of Christ
Conviction, then, is no part of a sinner's salvation—but the clear practical knowledge of the fact that he cannot save himself, and is entirely dependent on the saving grace of God.
Thoughts on Religious ExperienceSalvation0Thoughts on Religious Experience
Salvation is all of grace, and that grace is sovereign, discriminating, and distinguishing
Salvation0Why was I made to hear your voice, And enter while there's room, When thousands make a wretched choice, And rather starve than come?
Salvation0clearer passages should help interpret less clear ones. For example, doctrinal assertions in epistles often provide a theological grid through which to understand narrative or poetic texts. This principle helps ensure that our interpretations are consistent with the overall teaching of Scripture and guards against eisegesis—reading our own ideas into the text.
Exegesis, Hermeneutics, Scripture0Whenever we read the Scriptures, it is vital that we keep in mind the principle that the explicit, direct teaching passages of the Bible must control our interpretation of passages that convey their teaching less directly and more implicitly.
