Concise Quotes

A quick Biblical Point ( < 600 words )

Pride is the underlying sin that drives all sin.

Quotes 1
Pride sits beneath every other sin, from lust to anger to envy, refusing to submit to God. Here's the Biblical answer to a proud heart.

Socialism is Quicksand

Quotes 7
Socialism promises security but offers only sinking ground; Scripture points to the one foundation that truly holds firm.

Something is seriously wrong when the world is offended by everything but sin.

Quotes 3
A world quick to cancel every offense but sin reveals a conscience numbed to God's law and desperate for the grace only Christ can give.

Living from God’s promises will allow you to love the world like no other.  

Quotes 2
When you live from God's promises instead of fear, love stops being risky and starts becoming possible for a hurting world.

If God’s Word cannot be trusted in one place, then it cannot be trusted in any place.

Quotes 5
If Scripture fails at one point, its authority collapses everywhere else. Biblical inerrancy is not negotiable in parts.

Life is full of compromises on this side of the grave. Not true on the other. 

Quotes 2
Every believer lives with compromise on this side of the grave, but heaven allows none. Here's what that means for how we live now.

Relational is different from factual knowledge of who God is.

Quotes 1
Brent James reminds us that knowing facts about God isn't the same as knowing Him personally through faith, trust, and obedience.

Faith is more than a cold metallic assent. 

Quotes 0
Faith isn't cold agreement with facts about Godu2014it's trust that reshapes the heart, the will, and the way we live each day.

The term “Secular Biblical Theologian” (of which there are many) is an oxymoron.

Quotes 0
Secular Biblical Theologian is a contradiction: real Biblical theology submits to God's authority, something secularism refuses to grant.

Atheism postulates that man has sufficient knowledge to categorically state that there is no God. What world religion has more faith than that?

Quotes 5
Atheism claims certainty that no God exists - a claim faith itself can't prove. Explore why unbelief takes trust too, not just reason.

God wrote the two tablets with His own fingers. If God took pains to write — well may we take pains to read! 

Quotes 0
God carved His law in stone with His own fingersu2014Thomas Watson insists our reading should carry that same weight of careful diligence.

We are too quick to apply sinful human morality as a measuring stick for an all-knowing God.

Quotes 0
We judge God by broken human fairness. Scripture says His ways and thoughts run higher than ours ever could.

Science should be the window that opens one up to the complexity of God.

Quotes 0
Science isn't a rival to faith - it's a window into the vast, intricate mind of the God who spoke the universe into being.

Close obedience of God is still failure.

Quotes 0
Saul's near-obedience cost him the kingdom. Scripture shows that partial compliance with God's commands is still open rebellion.

Evangelism – a focus on the joy of Heaven rather than the fear of Hell. 

Quotes 0
Real evangelism leads with the joy of Heaven, not just the fear of Hell - because the gospel is good news before it's a warning.
