There can be no saving faith till the soul is filled with evangelical repentance, and repentance is a godly sorrow for sin, a holy detestation of sin, a sincere purpose to forsake it. The Gospel calls upon men to repent of their sins, forsake their idols, and mortify their lusts, and thus it is utterly impossible for the Gospel to be a message of good tidings to those who are in love with sin and madly determined to perish rather than part with their idols. ~ A.W. Pink

No one can do as much damage to the church of God as the man who is within its walls, but not within its life. ~ C. H. Spurgeon

"Hot mince pies!"

A boy in the streets, selling mince pies, kept crying, "Hot mince pies!" A person bought one and found it quite cold. "Boy", he said, "why do you call these pies hot?" "That's the name they go by, sir," said the boy. So there are plenty of people who are called Christians, but they are not Christians--that's simply the name they go by. ~ C. H. Spurgeon

The doctrine of the Fall

Few preachers of religion do believe thoroughly the doctrine of the Fall, or else they think that when Adam fell down he broke his little finger, and did not break his neck and ruin his race.
~ C.H. Spurgeon

The fact is that “foreknowledge”....

The fact is that “foreknowledge” is never used in Scripture in connection with events or actions; instead, it always has reference to persons. It is persons God is said to “foreknow,” not the actions of those persons. ~ A.W. Pink

The new birth is monergistic

The new birth is monergistic, that is it is the single work of almighty God. Infants do not cooperate in their birth. Infants do not induce their own procreation. And no more than those who are dead in trespasses and sin give themselves life, it is the work of almighty God. The verb here makes you passive, you were born again. You didn't give birth to yourself, God did it...God did it. It is thus an irresistible work. It is the work of God "An unwilling people are made willing in the day of God's power." ~ John MacArthur

The amazing sinfulness of sin

I am convinced that the first step toward attaining a higher standard of holiness is to realize more fully the amazing sinfulness of sin. ~ J.C. Ryle
