Today’s Quote – Cross (Horton)

Michael Horton, We Believe: Recovering the Essentials of the Apostle’s Creed: Every time we worship, we should be self-consciously committed to the ministry of John the Baptist: “Behold, the Lamb of God!” Remarkably, even in heaven the majestically enthroned Son is the slain Lamb. We never outgrow the cross. We never get beyond the need […]

Today’s Quote – Cross (Spurgeon)

Charles Spurgeon, The Power of the Cross: But herein is a wonderful thing. The Lord Jesus has lost no influence by having been hanged upon the tree. Rather, it is because of His shameful death that He is able to draw all men unto Himself. His glory rises from His humiliation; His adorable conquest from […]

Today’s Quote – Resurrection (Anderson)

J. N. D. Anderson: Jesus Christ: the Witness of History: All the references to the empty tomb come in the Gospels, which were written for Christians who wanted to know the facts. In the public preaching, to those who were not yet convinced, as recorded in the Acts of the Apostles, there was an insistent […]

Today’s Quote – Cross (Piper)

John Piper, The Passion of Jesus Christ: We are not as Christ-centered and cross-cherishing as we should be, because we do not ponder the truth that everything good, and everything bad that God turns for the good, was purchased by the sufferings of Christ.

Today’s Quote – Good Friday (Mahaney)

C. J. Mahaney, Living the Cross Centered Life: I identify most with the angry mob screaming, “Crucify Him!” That’s who we should all identify with. Because apart from God’s grace, this is where we would all be standing, and we’re only flattering ourselves to think otherwise. Unless you see yourself standing there with the shrieking […]

Today’s Quote – Scripture (d’Aubigne)

J. H. Merle d’Aubigne, Let Christ Be Magnified: The Word of God is the only power that can subdue the rebellion of our heart. There is a power in our fallen nature which revolets against divine truth, and which nothing human can overcome. No teaching of man will do it, not even that of your […]

Today’s Quote – Grace (McGee)

J. Vernon McGee, Galatians: The natural man hates the gospel of the grace of God…it is in us to hate it because it doesn’t require any doing on our part.

Today’s Quote – Scripture (Sibbes)

Richard Sibbes, The Bruised Reed: All sin is either from false principles, or ignorance, or thoughtlessness, or unbelief of what is true.…It is good, therefore, to store up true principles in our hearts, and to refresh them often, that, in virtue of them, our affections and actions may be more vigorous.

Today’s Quote – Scripture (Piper)

John Piper, When I Don’t Desire God: We need the Word of God not only to see God in the Word, but to see him rightly everywhere else.

Today’s Quote – Forgiveness (Sande)

Ken Sande, The Peacemaker: Forgiveness can be a costly activity. When you cancel a debt, it does not just simply disappear. Instead, you absorb a liability that someone else deserves to pay. Similarly, forgiveness requires that you absorb certain effects of another person’s sins and you release that person from liability to punishment. This is […]

Today’s Quote – Scripture (Brooks)

Thomas Brooks, Precious Remedies Against Satan’s Devices: It is not the hearing of truth, nor the knowing of truth, nor the commending of truth, nor the talking of truth, but the indwelling of truth in your souls, that will keep your judgments chaste and sound, in the midst of all those glittering errors that betray […]

Today’s Quote – Marriage (Harvey)

Dave Harvey, When Sinners Say “I Do”: Marriage is joined upon a field of great spiritual battles. But it rests within a war that is already won. Our real oppontent is not on the opposite side of the bed, but within our hearts. Our enemy is the desires of our flesh that oppose the desires […]

Today’s Quote – Self-Examination (Harvey)

Dave Harvey, When Sinners Say “I Do”: To be suspicious of my own heart is to acknowledge two things: that my heart has a central role in my behavior, and that my heart has a permanent tendency to oppose God and his ways.

Today’s Quote – Knowing God (Packer)

J. I. Packer, Knowing God: What were we made for? What aim should we set ourselves in life? To know God. What is the “eternal life” that Jesus give? Knowledge of God. “This is life eternal, that they might know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent” (John 17:3). What […]

Today’s Quote – Scripture (MacArthur)

John MacArthur, Our Sufficiency in Christ: You’ll never know what the Word can do if you don’t study and apply it. It isn’t enough to simply say you believe it. It must occupy an exalted place in your life. Since God Himself exalts and magnifies it (Ps. 138:2), how much more should we?
