Far from being a work of merit, faith causes [the redeemed man] to realize his dermerit and makes him cling entirely to the hope of divine mercy. - Joel Beeke & Paul Smalley

[RobBarriault @RobBarriault]

Christ, in the ultimate sense, gave Himself, not His self. He gave Himself for us, and we are to respond by giving ourselves to Him ... He gave Himself to redeem us; we give ourselves to thank and serve Him. RC Sproul

"Lord have mercy, church have courage." - George Grant

Let us be quick to repent of our sins at the level of the heart before we must deal with them publicly. RC Sproul

The possession of faith, not the profession of it, is the necessary condition for our justification. - RC Sproul

Theology needs to have a natural end, which is the love and worship of God.

[RobBarriault @RobBarriault]

... believers are gift that the Father gives to the Son. Because the Father loves Christ, He gives Christ a people as His legacy and by God's mercy we are included in that. RC Sproul

In the Screwtape letters, CS Lewis anticipated what some corners of Christian discourse on X would become.

Screwtape instructed Wormwood:

"Your patient must demand that all his own utterances are to be taken at face value and judged simply on the actual words, while at the same time judging his [opponent's] utterances with the fullest and most over-sensitive interpretation of the tone and context and the suspected intention...

Hence from every quarrel they can both go away convinced, or nearly convinced, that they are quite innocent...

Once this habit is well established you have the delightful situation of a human saying things with the express purpose of offending and yet having a grievance when offence is taken."

Unlike church or school settings, where children may feel uncomfortable speaking up, family worship affords them a place of freedom and support where they may ask questions and make comments of their own. - Joel Beeke

[the doctrine of election] screams not so much sovereignty as unfathomable grace and mercy ... From a corrupt mass of clay God chose to make vessels of glory. - RC Sproul

[RobBarriault @RobBarriault]

Contrary to the normal relativism so pervasive in our culture, you certainly know, if you have the slightest understanding of the Christian faith, that God has the authority to command you and do what he says is right. - R.C. Sproul.

Reminds me of the story in Acts 19 where those who practiced the magic arts burned all their books. Alex's profession of faith seems promising, and so I hope and pray that she continues on the right path. @WhaddoYouMeme https://t.co/OSiEMqHt6Y

Never perhaps were more traps and pitfalls in the way to heaven: never certainly were those traps so skillfully baited and those pitfalls so ingeniously made. Mind what you are about ... Arise and cast away excuses: this very day Christ calleth you. JC Ryle

The reality is that Christianity is for the broken, for the sinful. Those who see this as a problem do not recognize their own sinfulness. RC Sproul

[RobBarriault @RobBarriault]

A Christian lives not for himself but in Christ and in his neighbor, in Christ through faith, in neighbor through love. Through faith he rises above himself in God, from God he descends under himself through love, and remains always in God and divine love. - Martin Luther
