Orton Daniel

“Preaching is proclamation. It’s declaring Christ and all of His benefits. It’s an urgent plea for sinners to understand their nature, receive God’s gift of salvation, and be transformed by that gift.”
― Ken Golden, Presbytopia: What it means to be Presbyterian

“the more we understand of the holiness and the righteousness of God,
the more we begin to see by contrast how desperately fallen we are and how utterly dependent we are on His mercy and grace.”
― R.C. Sproul, The Truth of the Cross

“Christianity is not first and foremost about our behavior, our obedience, our response, and our daily victory over sin. It is first and foremost about Jesus! It is about His person; His substitutionary work; His incarnation, life, death, resurrection, ascension, and promised return. We are justified—and sanctified—by grace alone through faith alone in the finished work of Christ alone. Even now, the banner under which Christians live reads, “It is finished.” Everything we need, and everything we look for in things smaller than Jesus, is already ours in Christ.”
― Tullian Tchividjian, Glorious Ruin: How Suffering Sets You Free

“Every man, however wise, who begins by worshipping success, must end in mere mediocrity. This strange and paradoxical fate is involved, not in the individual, but in the philosophy, in the point of view. It is not the folly of the man which brings about this necessary fall; it is his wisdom.”
― G.K. Chesterton, Heretics
