Edifying Quotes

 

"...there is a holy delight in worship.  That is to say, the delight is not so much in the worshipping as in the One who is worshipped.  It is, in the end, God who is delightful.  When we find our delight in Him, then God is worshipped."  -  Hughes Oliphant Old

 

"What is missing (today) is the Bible.  I mean the whole Bible, with its blood and guts and sins and horrors - and all of it under the massive hand of God."  -  John Piper

 

"...by God's grace I go forth preaching this Word because it is a word of power, a word of spirit, a word of life.  The power is not in the sinner, it is in the Word when God the Holy Spirit is pleased to use it.  And, my friends, I say it in all reverence; if God told me in this Book to go out and preach to the trees, I would go!"  -  A.W. Pink

 

"Someone asked, 'Will the heathen who have never heard the Gospel be saved?'  It is more a question with me whether we, who have the Gospel and fail to give it to those who have not, can be saved."  -  C.H. Spurgeon



"The zeal of the church for the glory of her King will not rise until pastors and mission leaders and seminary teachers make much more of the King.  When the glory of God Himself saturates our preaching and teaching and conversation and writings, and when He predominates above our talk of methods and strategies and psychological buzz words and cultural trends, then the people might begin to feel that He is the central reality of their lives and that the spread of His glory is more important than all their possessions and all their plans."  -  John Piper
