The resurrection makes Christianity the most irritating religion on the face of the earth.
Timothy Keller
Charles H. Spurgeon
We say that Christ so died that He infallibly secured the salvation of a multitude that no man can number, who through Christ’s death not only may be saved, but are saved, must be saved, and cannot by any possibility run the hazard of being anything but saved.
Charles H. Spurgeon
Charles H. Spurgeon
The true shepherd spirit is an amalgam of many precious graces. He is hot with zeal, but he is not fiery with passion. He is gentle, and yet he rules his class. He is loving, but he does not wink at sin. He has power over the lambs, but he is not domineering or sharp. He has cheerfulness, but not levity; freedom, but not license; solemnity, but not gloom.
Charles H. Spurgeon
N.T. Wright
We stand humbly in the counsels of God Incarnate, the God who became human in the first century Jewish and Roman and Greek world, so that we can then stand boldly in the face of our world. And that we can share the saving, rescuing, healing, new creative love of the one God revealed in Jesus in the Spirit.

P.T. Forsyth
It is possible to be so active in the service of Christ as to forget to love Him.

John MacArthur, Matthew 1-7, Moody, 1985, p. 66.
The sorrow of true repentance is…sorrow for offense against a holy God, not simply regret over the personal consequences of our sin. Sorrow over being found out or over suffering hardship or discipline because of our sin is not godly sorrow, and has nothing to do with repentance. That sort of sorrow is but selfish regret, concern for self rather than for God. It merely adds to the original sin.
John MacArthur, Matthew 1-7, Moody, 1985, p. 66.
Dieu nous montre qu’en fait de hasard, c’est lui-même qui contrôle tout dans la vie de chacun. C’est ce Dieu d’amour qui vous conduit maintenant à lire ces lignes pour vous faire rencontrer celui qui veut et qui peut vous sauver : Jésus Christ, le Rédempteur.

John MacArthur, Matthieu 1-7, Moody, 1985, p. 475.
A person who is not concerned about having his present sins cleansed has good reason to doubt that his past sin has been forgiven. A person who has no desire to come to the Lord for continued cleansing has reason to doubt that he ever came to the Lord to receive salvation.
John MacArthur, Matthew 1-7, Moody, 1985, p. 475.
R.C. Sproul
We want to be saved from our misery, but not from our sin. We want to sin without misery, just as the prodigal son wanted inheritance without the father. The foremost spiritual law of the physical universe is that this hope can never be realized. Sin always accompanies misery. There is no victimless crime, and all creation is subject to decay because of humanity’s rebellion from God.

What is repentance? According to the Scriptures, three Greek words are transliterated “repentance.” I believe all three put together describe three truths necessary for complete repentance. The Greek word “Metanoeo” speaks of a spiritual change of the mind. Literally it means “to have another mind.” It implies a change of opinion with regard to sin and the recognition of sin against a holy God. We’ll call this the intellectual aspect. The second word, “Metamelomai,” speaks of personal grief or sorrow over sin as it has offended one’s heavenly Father. We’ll call this the emotional aspect. Finally, “Epistrepho,” speaks of a change in direction and transformation of the will. Evidence here is marked by an observable difference in conduct. We’ll call this the volitional aspect.

Dieu n'est pas un Dieu des bords, avec un intérêt particulier pour les débuts. Dieu est le Dieu de tout le spectacle.
John Polkinghorne, Quarks, Chaos & Christianisme (1995), page 51
God is not a God of the edges, with a vested interest in beginnings. God is the God of the whole show.
John Polkinghorne, Quarks, Chaos & Christianisme (1995), page 51
Fritz, moine allemand, contemporain de Martin Luther.
It is the truth which is assailed in any age which tests our fidelity. It is to confess we are called, not merely to profess. If I profess, with the loudest voice and the clearest exposition, every portion of the truth of God except precisely that little point which the world and the devil are at that moment attacking, I am not confessing Christ, however boldly I may be professing Christianity. Where the battle rages the loyalty of the soldier is proved; and to be steady on all the battle-field besides is mere flight and disgrace to him if he flinches at that one point.
Fritz, a German Monk and contemporary with Martin Luther
P.T. Forsyth, The Cruciality of the Cross, Hodder and Stoughton, 1909, p. 44-45.
Christ is to us just what His cross is. All that Christ was in heaven or on earth was put into what He did there…you do not understand Christ till you understand His cross.
P.T. Forsyth, The Cruciality of the Cross, Hodder and Stoughton, 1909, p. 44-45.
A.W. Tozer
I do not think I exaggerate when I say that some of us put our offering in the plate with a kind of triumphant bounce as much as to say: “There – now God will feel better!” I am obliged to tell you that God does not need anything you have. He does not need a dime of your money. It is your own spiritual welfare at stake in such matters as these. You have the right to keep what you have all to yourself – but it will rust and decay, and ultimately ruin you.

The H. Wayne House, Charts of Christian Theology and Doctrine, Zondervan, 1992, p. 36.
Every effect has a cause; there cannot be an infinite regress of finite causes; therefore, there must be an uncaused cause or necessary being; this being is God (The Cosmological Argument, proponents- Aquinas). There is observable order or design in the world that cannot be attributed to the object itself; this observable order argues for an intelligent being who established this order; this being is God. The H. Wayne House, Charts of Christian Theology and Doctrine, Zondervan, 1992, p. 36.
John MacArthur
Someone once estimated that the number of random genetic factors involved in the evolution of a tapeworm from an amoeba would be comparable to placing a monkey in a room with a typewriter and allowing him to strike the keys at random until he accidentally produced a perfectly spelled and perfectly punctuated typescript of Hamlet's soliloquy.

William Tiptaft
If rich people only knew when they died--how their relations would scramble for their money, the worms for their bodies, and the devils for their souls--they would not be so anxious to save money!

Après ce répit, les chrétiens furent à nouveau persécutés, cette fois par Marc-Aurèle, en l'an 61. L'un de ceux qui souffrirent cette fois fut Polycarpe, le vénérable évêque de Smyrne... Alors qu'il entrait dans le stade avec ses gardes, on entendit une voix venant du ciel qui disait : "Sois fort, Polycarpe, et joue l'homme." Personne à proximité n'a vu quelqu'un parler, mais beaucoup de gens ont entendu la voix. Amené devant le tribunal et la foule, Polycarpe a refusé de renier le Christ, bien que le proconsul l'ait supplié de "réfléchir à toi-même et d'avoir pitié de ton grand âge. Reproche le Christ et je te libérerai". Polycarpe répondit : "J'ai servi le Christ pendant 86 ans et il ne m'a jamais fait de mal. Comment pourrais-je blasphémer mon Roi, qui m'a sauvé ?" Menacé par les bêtes sauvages et le feu, Polycarpe a tenu bon.

After the respite, the Christians again came under persecution, this time from Marcus Aurelius, in A.D. 61. One of those who suffered this time was Polycarp, the venerable bishop pf Smyrna… As he entered the stadium with his guards, a voice from heaven was heard to say, “Be strong, Polycarp, and play the man.” No one nearby saw anyone speaking but many people heard the voice. Brought before the tribunal and the crowd, Polycarp refused to deny Christ, although the proconsul begged him to “consider yourself and have pity on your great age. Reproach Christ and I will release you.” Polycarp replied, “Eighty-six years I have served Him, and He never once wronged me. How can I blaspheme my King, who saved me?” Threatened with wild beasts and fire, Polycarp stood his ground.

The church that seeks to give to God and receive from others will suffocate faith and smother love. But if Jesus’ gospel takes root, we will gladly come to God to feast and drink. Then with our hands full and our thirst being quenched, we will most gladly do good to others, especially the church – those who are of the household of faith (2 Cor. 12:15; Gal. 6:10).

Priscilla Shirer
The spirit of complaint is born out of an unwillingness to trust God with today. Like the Israelites, it means you are spending your time looking back toward Egypt or wishing for the future all the while missing what God is doing right now.
