          Fine sermons never win souls; you may blaze away with your brilliant oratory, and your fine pieces of poetry and quotations from eminent authors, but that will not save souls. What does save souls, then? Why, the Word of the Lord, the truth as it is in Jesus.

      • • 2761. The Free-Agency Of Christ | Answers in Genesis
          God’s ways are diverse; from the beginning to the end, God the Father, God the Holy Spirit, and our Lord Jesus Christ, act sovereignly, and do not choose to follow one particular mode of action in every case.

          My mind alights with great joy on the simple truth which gleams on the very surface of our text, — then, man may pray. If men ought to pray, they may pray. It is clear that you may pray because men ought always to pray, and what they ought to do they may do.

          And when a man is waiting for Christ, he is ready for Christ.

          There are still in the world many people who, in their own opinion, are too good to be justified, too good to be saved; and they come to this condition because they compare themselves with others. The standard for any man who would be saved by his own righteousness is God’s holy law.

If you do not feel any desire after what is right in God’s sight, you do not have anything at all right in your heart.
