Ephesians 2:8 For by grace you are saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God
1 Corinthians 1:29 That no flesh should glory in His presence
âCivil rights used to be about treating everyone the same. But today some people are so used to special treatment that equal treatment is considered to be discrimination.â
â Thomas Sowell
âWhat do you call it when someone takes someone elseâs money openly by force? Robbery. What do you call it when a politician takes someone elseâs money in taxes and gives it to someone who is more likely to vote for him? Social Justice.â
â Thomas Sowell
Human relationships are unable to provide us with life, contentment, happiness, and joy, so when we ask them to be our source of identity, it's only a matter of time before they fail us.
We can never be reminded of this enough: our identity is only safe in one Person - Jesus Christ!
Thomas Sowell on engineers vs intellectuals:
âThe engineer is judged by the end product. If he builds a building that collapses, it doesnât matter how brilliant his idea wasâheâs ruined.â
âConversely, if an intellectual has an idea for rearranging society and that ends in disaster, he pays no price at all.â
Six ingredients of true repentance:
1. Sight of sin
2. Sorrow for sin
3. Confession of sin
4. Shame for sin
5. Hatred of sin
6. Turning from sin
â Thomas Watson (1620â1686)
âJust as you donât find eagles living in the ocean or fish living on mountain tops, so you donât find leftists concentrated where their ideas have to stand the test of performance.â
â Thomas Sowell
Christ is my righteousness. I am neither less righteous for my ill deservings nor more righteous for my good deservings, for Christ is my righteousness, and He is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
John Bunyan
The Gospel will sound offensive to people who love their sin.
The Bible will sound foolish to a world that worships self.
A crucified Savior, repentance, holiness, God's wrath against sin, salvation by grace alone, our inability to do good... none of that flatters human pride.
Christianity was never designed to blend comfortably into a fallen world. 1 Corinthians 1:18
The scariest words a person can hear on Judgment Day are, "I never knew you." Do not rest on an empty profession.
Repent, believe, and live for Christ today.
"All the powers of the world cannot take away my life, till God permits. All the physicians of earth cannot preserve it, when God calls me away." -J.C.Ryle.
There is no version of Christianity that permits you to continue living however you want simply because âGod loves youâ.
True love inspires true obedience.

"Moses spent forty years thinking he was somebody; forty years learning he was nobody; and forty years discovering what God can do with a nobody." -D.L.Moody.
âJesus died for you and for me. Far more than His excruciatingly painful physical death, He suffered spiritually when God laid on Him your sins and mine. He who had never known sin took the penalty for all our sin. What wondrous love is this!â âBilly Graham
