The only freedom that man ever has is when he becomes a slave to Jesus Christ.

It's dangerous to assume that because a man is drawn to holiness in his study that he is thereby a holy man. I am sure that the reason that I have a deep hunger to learn of the holiness of God is precisely because I am not holy.

He is intangible and invisible. But His work is more powerful than the most ferocious wind. The Spirit brings order out of chaos and beauty out of ugliness. He can transform a sin-blistered man into a paragon of virtue. The Spirit changes people. The Author of life is also the Transformer of life.

Men are never duly touched and impressed with a conviction of their insignificance, until they have contrasted themselves with the majesty of God

Man’s will is free to follow his inclinations, but fallen man’s inclinations are always and invariably away from God.

The sin of fallen man is this: Man seeks the benefits of God while at the same time fleeing from God Himself.

Natural man’s sin is precisely this: He wants the benefits of God without God Himself.

Humanism was not invented by man, but by a snake who suggested that the quest for autonomy might be a good idea.
