Nature teaches us that God is above us; the law teaches us that God is against us; the Gospel teaches us that God is with us.

[Jim MacIntosh @JimMacIntosh1]

Most of the problems of life fall into place as they should once we realize that our primary purpose is to know God.

[Jim MacIntosh @JimMacIntosh1]

If the Lord Jesus is willing to put up with our imperfections, ought we not to do the same for each other?

[Jim MacIntosh @JimMacIntosh1]

Bearing each others' names to the Throne of Grace is a debt that Christians owe each other.

[Jim MacIntosh @JimMacIntosh1]

One of the high honours of the Lord Jesus is that He is the King of a willing people, not the master of a race of slaves.

[Jim MacIntosh @JimMacIntosh1]

Just as the sap from the maple tree becomes sweeter the more we boil it, so the Word of God becomes sweeter the more we read it.

[Jim MacIntosh @JimMacIntosh1]

If even your dog or cat is not better off because you are a Christian, your Christianity is not worth much.

[Jim MacIntosh @JimMacIntosh1]

Anyone who tells you that their salvation is based on anything other than the mercy and grace of God does not have God's salvation.

[Jim MacIntosh @JimMacIntosh1]

The grace of God so fills the courts of Heaven that an unsaved sinner who has never known that grace could never be happy there.

[Jim MacIntosh @JimMacIntosh1]

Returning good for good is human; returning evil for evil is brutal; returning evil for good is diabolical; returning good for evil is divine.

In the beginning, God made man in His own image; since the fall in the garden, man has been trying to make God in his own image.

[Jim MacIntosh @JimMacIntosh1]

The Holy Spirit will not provide comfort to the Christian who is living in sin or who is failing to fulfil responsibilities.

[Jim MacIntosh @JimMacIntosh1]

Backsliders like preaching that addresses sin in generalities; real disciples like preaching that is specific about sin and failure.

[Jim MacIntosh @JimMacIntosh1]

We cannot do anything to improve things in the future unless we are willing to change things in the present.

[Jim MacIntosh @JimMacIntosh1]

Folks around us can get a far better idea of what we believe by watching our actions instead of listening to what we say.

[Jim MacIntosh @JimMacIntosh1]

The more tightly we grip the truths of the Word of God, the more loosely we will grip the ideas of the world.

[Jim MacIntosh @JimMacIntosh1]

The fear of the Lord can banish fear of everything else.

[Jim MacIntosh @JimMacIntosh1]

The best way to differentiate between the voice of God and the voice of the enemy is to filter the sound through a clear conscience.

[Jim MacIntosh @JimMacIntosh1]

How strange that all of creation obeys the Word of God except for those who were made in the image of God!

[Jim MacIntosh @JimMacIntosh1]

The story of the cross is the grandest theme of Heaven, the greatest terror of hell, and the most neglected topic of earth.
