There are three things that [necessitate] church discipline:

1. Major moral issues,

2. Major doctrinal issues and

3. Major lawlessness characterized by divisiveness.

If, in the past, culpable ignorance was graciously overlooked by God - not in the sense that he assigned no guilt, but in the sense that he bore with it - now is inexcusable: 'now he commands all people everywhere to repent' (Acts 17:30), and has backed up this demand with the threat of judgment threatening from the impending last day (Acts 17:31).

Hell is not filled with people who are deeply sorry for their sins. It is filled with people who for all eternity still shake their puny fist in the face of God Almighty.

Effective prayer is the fruit of a relationship with God, not a technique for acquiring blessings.

The place where God has supremely destroyed all human arrogance and pretension is the cross.

"If the love of Christ for the church is the standard of the husbands love for his wife, the least that this standard means is that the love must be self-sacrificial and for her good, for that is the way Christ loved the church. Always, therefore, the Christian husband must be thinking of expressing his love for his wife not only in terms of the characteristics found in 1 Corinthians 13, but with these two immensely practical tests: In what ways am I diligently seeking her good? And how is this pursuit of her good costing me something, prompting me to sacrifice something, as an expression of my love for her – in exactly the same way that the Savior sought the church’s good at the cost of His life?" - D.A.

"The miracles Jesus performs…do not compel faith; but those with faith will perceive their significance." - D.A. Carson

All of us would be wiser if we would resolve never to put people down, except on our prayer lists.
