There is nothing more unloving than to be silent in the face of lies that will ruin another person.Dug Down Deep (221)
We think our distaste for imprecatory prayers and statements in the Bible is an improvement in us, that it shows that we're more loving than men like Knox. I wonder. It may rather indicate how enervated we have become by capitulating to a tolerant age that no longer believes in the teeth-gnashing reality of the final judgement of God.The Mighty Weakness of John Knox (46)
We're either building our life on the reality of what God is truly like and what he's about, or we're basing our life on our own imagination and misconceptions. We're all theologians. The question is whether we will be good theologians or bad theologians, whether what we know about God is true or false.Dug Down Deep
Be thankful, that God cares enough for you to be angry with you.Anthology of P.T. Forsyths Practical Writings (113)
The wrath of God is as much a divine perfection as is His faithfulness, power, or mercy
Not all the vials of judgement, that have, or shall be poured out on this wicked world, nor the flaming furnace of a sinner's conscience, nor the irreversible sentance pronounced against the rebellious devils, nor the screams of the damned creatures give such a demonstration of God's hatred of sin, as the wrath of God let loose upon his Son. Never did Divine holiness appear more beautiful and lovely, than at the time our saviour's countenance was most marred in the midst of his dying groans. This himself acknowledges in that prophetical psalm (22:1-2), when God had turned his smiling face from him, and thrust his sharp knife into his heart, which forced that terrible cry from him, "My God, my God, why hast though forsaken me?" He adores this perfection of holiness (psalms 22:3), "but thou art Holy;"
How can we claim to know and love Jesus and yet be indifferent toward his bride, his temple, his family, his own body? Can I say that I love Jesus but hate the wife he cherishes? Can I say I enjoy spending time with him but refuse to enter his house? Can I claim friendship with Jesus but think his body is repulsive? It's not possible.Dug Down Deep (198)
Every day of faith is a day of the supernatural work of the Spirit in our lives. Every time we're filled with love for God, every time we become aware of how glorious Jesus is, every time ewe read God's Word and understand and believe it, every time we choose to obey God and turn away from sin, every time we selflessly use our abilities to serve others-the Holy Spirit is powerfully working in us.Dug Down Deep (187)
When people ask me how to discover their spiritual gifts, I say, Just serve. Don't overspiritualize spiritual gifts.Dug Down Deep (185)
The doctrine of Scripture teaches us about the authority of God's Word. Scripture must be the final rule of faith and practice for our lives. Not our feelings or emotions. Not signs or prophetic words or hunches.Dug Down Deep (65)
God's love is perceived as amazing only when we realize that the one thing we truly deserve from him is righteous wrath and eternal punishment for our disobedience and disloyalty.Dug Down Deep (46)
God's attributes are not merely a list of facts and features. They are truths that inform belief and inspire faith.Dug Down Deep (44)
