26 Quotes by Bryan Chapell

There is nothing more effective than guilt to get people to obey God’s standards, and nothing less efficacious in sanctifying them to God.

Grace becomes not only the means by which God once justified us, it is also the means by which we are continually encouraged and enabled to serve him with undiminished delight.

Our preaching should reflect the uniqueness of our personalities, but our lives should.

The inevitable consequence of obedience without delight is the erosion of holiness.

Guilt should drive us to the cross, but grace must lead us from it.

Success in the pulpit can be the force that leads a preacher from prayerful dependence on the Spirit.

What a difference it makes in my life and yours when we believe that the trials as well as the accomplishments, the difficulties as well as the joys, are not simply the products of brute forces in the universe but actually are all part of God’s eternal plan for his glory and our good. Do we have any assurance that such astounding truths do apply to us? Yes.

We do not proclaim grace so that anyone will make light of sin or of our duty to resist it. We herald God’s amazing mercy in order to join with the Spirit in stirring up in his people such a love for God that, when the day of evil comes, they will gladly put on the full armor he provides. Then, despite the hardships and the pain God’s people may face in the battle, they will stand strong in the power of his might.
