Below is a compilation of 15 quotes by evangelical Christians designed to make you think about how serious a faith Christianity is. All of these quotes are from the Facebook pages of a very good friend of mine, Patrick Cox. Each quote, though brief, packs a powerful Christian message.
“Submitting our lives to the Word of God is not radical Christianity, it’s basic Christianity.” – Paul Washer
“You don’t make Jesus Lord, He’s already Lord.” – Voddie Baucham
“It is possible for real Christians to be taken in by false prophets. When believers are careless about study of and obedience to the Word, lazy about prayer, and uncritical about the things of God, it is easy for them to be deceived by someone who pretends to be orthodox especially if he is pleasant, positive, and permissive.” – John MacArthur
“I may know all the doctrines of the Bible, but unless I know Christ, there is not one of them that can save me.” – Charles H. Spurgeon
“There is more Bible buying, Bible selling, Bible printing and Bible distributing than ever before in our nation. We see Bibles in every bookstore – Bibles of every size, price and style. There are Bibles in almost every house in the land. But all this time I fear we are in danger of forgetting that to HAVE the Bible is one thing, and to READ it quite another.” – J.C. Ryle
“The Bible is a harbor where I can drop down my anchor, feeling certain that it will hold. Here is a place where I can find sure footing; and, by the grace of God, from this confidence I shall never be moved.” – Charles H. Spurgeon
“Our calling isn’t to follow our hearts. Our calling is to have our hearts informed and directed by the clear and plain teaching of the Word of God.” – R.C. Sproul
“Many churches now look for ways to give the Gospel to people without offending them. Yet the very nature of the Gospel is offensive because it confronts sinners with their sin.” – John MacArthur
“God’s calling us to stand on His Word, not water it down to fit in with the culture.” – Jordan Riley
“The closer you come to God the more of the world you must leave behind. The two are polar opposites, mutually exclusive, incompatible.” – Paul Washer
“Of all the blessings of Christian salvation none is greater than this, that we have access to God in prayer.” – D. Martyn Lloyd Jones
“When there’s something in the Word of God that I don’t like, the problem is not with the Word of God, it’s with me.” – R.C. Sproul
“This world would be much better off if we stopped gossiping about people and started praying for them instead.” – Jordan Riley
“The real glory of heaven is not streets of gold or gates of pearl, but the King upon His throne.” – Steven Lawson
“When asked, ‘What is more important: prayer or reading the Bible?’ I ask, ‘What is more important: breathing in or breathing out?’” – Charles Spurgeon
This is really good Curt…I think I like Charles Spurgeon’s comments the most. But all are true and need to be said.
