Concise Quotes

A quick Biblical Point ( < 600 words )

Like CliffsNotes, Sunday mornings are not enough to understand the deep truths of God. 

Quotes 2
One hour a week can't teach you the depths of Scripture. Real spiritual growth requires daily pursuit of God's Word, not just Sunday attendance.

Forget Right Versus Left; Think Vertical Versus Horizontal

Quotes 1
Right versus left misses the point. Scripture calls us to a vertical relationship with God first, then horizontal love for others.

”The best way to learn about God is to read, not feel.”

Quotes 3
Feelings rise and fall, but Scripture stands firm. God's written Word, not emotion, anchors true knowledge of who He is and what He asks.

“It is necessary to feel the weight of God telling you are wrong in order to feel the conviction of sin.”

Quotes 1
Conviction of sin feels heavy because God loves you too much to leave you comfortable in what is quietly killing you inside.

We hate in others what we see in ourselves.

Quotes 1
We often condemn in others the very sin we refuse to see in ourselves. Scripture calls this self-righteousness to repentance.

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.
