Book cover for Preaching: How to Preach Biblically (MacArthur Pastor's Library)
This volume does not insist on a single, mechanical approach to preaching but rather focuses attention on essential dynamic elements of Bible exposition for any age; in other words, primary concentration is on the Scriptures and the central ...more

“True hope is found by looking to the Lord, resting in His powerful provision, and clinging to the promises of His Word. To hope in God is to fix your eyes on Him and His promises rather than on your own personal circumstances no matter how difficult they may be. If God is the source of your hope, it will never fail because He never fails. Those who hope in Him will never be disappointed (Romans 5:5).”
N. Busenitz

“Mankind was designed to function as a worshipper of God for eternity, and the intent was for all aspects of his life to be acts of worship to the living God.”
Jay E. Adams

“Wayne Mack advises that if he is truly repentant, he will manifests the following:
• He is willing to call it—sin.
• He is willing to accept personal responsibility for all his sinful and unbiblical thoughts, choices, and actions.
• He understands the seriousness and horrendous nature of his sin.
• He shows a concern about heart sins (his attitudes, desires, motivations) as well as behavioral sins (Matthew 5: 27-32; James 4: 8).
• He is willing to turn to Christ for the forgiveness of his sins and is willing to be saved by the grace of God alone.
• He displays a sincere desire to be free from sin itself, not just the problems caused by sin.
• He is willing to commit himself to obeying and serving God rather than self, and he takes the Lordship of Christ seriously.
• He is willing to work on changing the things in his life and marriage that are displeasing to God (Luke 3: 7-14; 2 Corinthians 7: 9-11; 1 Thessalonians 1: 9-10).”
Wayne Mack

“Maybe you go to mass every day. But if you live for your own selfish benefit, and have no concern for the difficulties of your neighbour, as if they did not touch you at all, then all you have done is take part in the sacrament in a merely outward way. The sacrifice of the mass, in a spiritual sense, means that we become one body with the Body of Christ, living members of His Church. If your love for things is guided by Christ, if you think all your possessions to be things you hold in trust for the good of all, if you take upon yourself the difficulties and sufferings of your neighbour as if they were your own, then you may take part in mass very fruitfully, because now you take part in a spiritual way…
But to worship Christ with nothing more than outward ceremonies, as if such worship were the height of spirituality, while all the time you are puffed up with self-importance, and condemn other people, and think yourself secure because you live and die in your outward worship: well, the very ordinances of worship that were meant to draw you to Christ will withdraw you from Him. Your religion is a rebellion against the spirit of the Gospel, a falling back into the superstitions and rituals of Judaism ...
The apostle Paul, the foremost defender of spiritual religion, never ceased trying to get the Jews to give up their confidence in outward works and rituals, and to lead them to spiritual realities. Yet I feel that the great majority of Christians have fallen back again into that sickness.”
Erasmus The Dagger of the Christian Soldier, 4th and 5th Rules

John Gill
“God is faithful to all His promises, nor can He fail, or deceive; He is all wise and foreknowing of everything that comes to pass; He never changes His mind, nor forgets His word; and He is able to perform, and is the God of truth, and cannot lie; nor has He ever failed in any one of His promises, nor will He suffer [allow] His faithfulness to fail; and this is a strong argument to hold fast a profession of faith.”
John Gill
