No Such Thing
“God can’t give us peace and happiness apart from Himself because there is no such thing.”
C.S. Lewis
The Best Gift
“The best gift of the gospel is not the forgiveness of sins. The best gift of the gospel is not the imputed righteousness of Jesus Christ. The best gift of the gospel is not eternal life. The best gift of the gospel is seeing and savoring the supremacy of Jesus himself.”
John Piper
Cry of the Heart
“Worship is the spontaneous, irrepressible cry of the heart when the glory of the Creator breaks in upon it.”
Richard Exley
Inducements
“Perhaps the relationship between divine sovereignty and human freedom can best be summed up in these words: God so presents the outside inducements that man acts in accordance with his own nature, yet does exactly what God has planned for him to do.”
Loraine Boettner
Like Parrots
“Many repeat, like parrots, the word,’Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him’ (1 Corinthians 2:9); but they fail to add the words which follow in the same Scripture, ‘but God hath revealed them unto us by his Holy Spirit.’ What cruelty thus to cut the living child of Scripture in halves! The Holy Spirit has revealed to us what neither eye nor ear has perceived: he has drawn back the curtains, and bidden us see the secrets hidden from ages and from generations.”
Charles Spurgeon
God’s Creatures
“God’s creatures are good, and were made for men to serve God with, and don’t willingly subserve to any other purpose, and groan when they are abused to purposes so directly contrary to their nature and end.”
Jonathan Edwards
Taste and See
“There is a difference between having an opinion that God is holy and gracious, and having a sense of the loveliness and beauty of that holiness and grace. There is a difference between having a rational judgment that honey is sweet, and having a sense of its sweetness. . . . So there is a difference between believing that a person is beautiful and having a sense of his beauty. The former may be obtained by hear-say, but the latter only by seeing the countenance.”
Jonathan Edwards
