“What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.”A.W. Tozer

 

 

“Although our justification can never be increased, our faith certainly can. The strength of our faith is a fragile thing. It is something that must be fed daily by what we call the ‘means of grace.’ Through the study of God’s Word, prayer, worship, and fellowship, God fortifies our faith and our sanctification. Certainly sanctification can and must increase as we continue our pilgrimage in faith, but all of God’s grace is unmerited by us.” - Dr. R.C. Sproul

 

 

“The Bible has not been given to us to make us feel good but to reveal the truth of God to us.” - Dr. R.C.Sproul

 

 

“Biblical writers never divorce the head and the heart in terms of spiritual growth. Grace and peace abound when believers know more about God and come to know God in a deeper way in the crucible of experience.” - Dr. Thomas R. Schreiner
