    "The world exercises dominion. The Christian serves, and thus he shares the earthly lot of his Lord, who became a servant. … God…has so ordered life that the world exercises dominion by force and Christ and Christians conquer by service." Detrich Bonhoeffer

    "I desire to have both heaven and hell ever in my eye, while I stand on this isthmus of life, between two boundless oceans." ~ John Wesley

    Free will is not the liberty to do whatever one likes, but the power of doing whatever one sees ought to be done, even in the very face of otherwise overwhelming impulse. There lies freedom, indeed. ~ George MacDonald

    If I see aright, the cross of popular evangelicalism is not the cross of the New Testament. It is, rather, a new bright ornament upon the bosom of a self-assured and carnal Christianity. The old cross slew men, the new cross entertains them. The old cross condemned; the new cross amuses. The old cross destroyed confidence in the flesh; the new cross encourages it. ~ A.W. Tozer

    I may no longer depend on pleasant impulses to bring me before the Lord. I must rather response to principles I know to be right, whether I feel them to be enjoyable or not. ~ Jim Elliot

    And that's what we see happening right now.

    yes...it has always been this way. That is why it is so imperative to stand your ground as believer's on some world issues because it affects the next generation including the Church...

    "Nothing can touch the Word of God. Not all the powers of earth and hell, men and devils combined, can ever move the Word of God. There it stands, in its own moral glory, spite of all the assaults of the enemy, from age to age. ‘For ever, 0 Lord, Thy Word is settled in heaven.’" ~ C.H. Mackintosh

    We have already lost our ability to help anyone once we speak in anger against them personally ~ J.C. Watchman

    It seems that I have been predestined to be a Born-Again, Bible Believing, Pre-Mill, Post Trib, Trinitarian, Pentecostal Arminian - so who am I to argue with the Sovereign will of God :p

    The idea of sola Scriptura is that there is only one written source of divine revelation, which can never be placed on a parallel status with confessional statements, creeds, or the traditions of the church. Scripture alone has the authority to bind the conscience precisely because only Scripture is the written revelation of almighty God. ~ R.C. Sproul

    Both of these were powerful statements! Really encouraging!

    If only there were a fail-safe way of sharing this with those who place so much emphasis (and their salvation) on man-made traditions which are worthless, instead of on God's word which gives life.

    Great quote. Barkley, the best inroads I have found for that case is to share how we read Scripture sacramentally.

    "Teaching theology to a heathen will not bring him to faith in Christ. He may learn the evangelical vocabulary and verbally affirm the truth. He may accept the truth and a list of gospel facts. But without a divine miracle, to open his blind eyes and give him a new heart, he will only be a theologically informed pagan, Not A Christian." - John McArthur
    Angelina
    If you want to see and walk in the miraculous, change your heart. Have a heart like a child. Believe and take God at his word. Do not allow your logic to overwhelm any situation you may be facing. Miracles happen when you believe that God can and will move according to your faith. Even if it is just a mustard seed. That is 100% guaranteed!

    Amen to that for without faith it is impossible to please God!According to our faith be it unto us! Mustard seeds can not be mixed with anything else, not even doubt!

    A man may study because his brain is hungry for knowledge, even Bible knowledge. But he prays because his soul is hungry for God. ~ Leonard Ravenhill

    "God is looking for broken men who have judged themselves in the light of the cross of Christ. When He wants anything done, He takes up men who have come to the end of themselves, whose confidence is not in themselves, but in God." ~ H.A. Ironside

    Wonderful Quote! A book you may want to look into is Release of the Spirit by Watchmen Nee he speaks a lot on brokeness!
