Grace is God's giving us a sovereign joy in God that triumphs over the joy in sin.
Gospel0Christians care about all suffering, especially eternal suffering. Else they have a defective heart or a flameless hell.
(Lasaunne conference)Suffering0(Lasaunne conference)
Not grace to bar what is not bliss,
Nor flight from all distress, but this:
The grace that orders our trouble and pain,
And then, in the darkness, is there to sustain.

Of the Mortification of Sin in Believers Chapter 2Sin0Of the Mortification of Sin in Believers Chapter 2
Indeed there is no little sin because there is no little God to sin against.

Prayer is the answer to the disease of self-confidence.
Prayer0That is why the unregenerate person cannot understand the urgency of the gospel message: until they see the depth of their sin and the holiness of God, they find no reason to seek remedy for their condition.
Sin0When I turn to the map of the world I must say the same thing. It matters not what quarter I examine: I find men's hearts are everywhere the same, and everywhere wicked. Sin is the family disease of all the children of Adam.

Missions is not the ultimate goal of the Church. Worship is. Missions exists because worship doesn't.
Missions0Grace doesn't mean that obedience is unnecessary, it means that it is finally possible.
Grace, Obedience0Where passion for God is weak, zeal for missions will be weak. Churches that are not centred on the exaltation of the majesty and beauty of God will scarcely kindle a fervent desire to declare his glory among the nations (Ps 96:3)
Let the Nations Be Glad (36)Missions0Let the Nations Be Glad (36)
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)
You can never part with sin soon enough; it is a cursed inmate, that will surely bring mischief upon the soul that harbours it. It will set its own dwelling on fire.
Works 7:147Sin0Works 7:147
The resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and what became of him after his resurrection, shows the greatness of God's power toward us now in this life.
Resurrection, God's Power0There is a world of difference between praying and laboring for a renewed mind that discerns how to apply God's Word, on the one hand, and the habit of asking God to give you new revelation of what to do, on the other hand. Divination does not require transformation. God's aim is a new mind, a new way of thinking and judging, not just new information.

Guilt and pain are gifts of God to warn us that the pleasures of sin are suicidal. Though they may feel good in the moment.

We don't take the words seriously when we use God as a throwaway word, or Jesus Christ as a word for when I just hit my finger or something terrible just happened, or damn as a swear word, or hell as a throwaway swear word. The problem with all those words is that they take things that are unbelievably important and serious, and they turn them into moments of smallness.
Speech, Words, Swearing0The devil wants you to be as happy and prosperous as you can possibly be provided you don't make any difference for Jesus.
Faith0At the heart of all sin is a lie. The lie says to all of us in our sin, "The act you are now doing, the desire or attitude you are now feeling is not very bad because there are much worse things, not very bad because everyone else experiences the same things, not very bad because you can't help it, not very bad because there is no God, or, if that won't work, God knows you are but frail and weak and he will tolerate and pity your sin." There are a thousand distortions of the truth which sin brings with it into the human heart, so that Jeremiah cries out, "The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately corrupt; who can understand it?" (17:9).
Sin0Any trust, except in God, brings about sin.

When my thirst for joy and meaning and passion are satisfied by the presence and promises of Christ, the power of sin is broken.

Brothers, for the sake of the truth, and for the good of your people, and for the glory of God in the world, don't confuse timid uncertainty with truthful humility.
Brothers, We are Not Professionals (166)Truth0Brothers, We are Not Professionals (166)
A sheep may fall into a ditch, but it is the swine that wallows in it.
Sin0If anyone would feel the greatness of sin he would not be able to go on living another moment; so great is the power of sin.
