"Oh to Grace how great a debtor
daily I'm constrained to be.
Let thy goodness, like a fetter
bind my wandering heart to Thee!"

"We must be clothed with humility; for the proud in spirit are those that cannot bear to be trampled upon, but grow outrageous, and fret themselves, when they are hardly bestead. That will break a proud man's heart, which will not break a humble man's sleep. Mortify pride, therefore, and a lowly spirit will easily be reconciled to a low condition." -Matthew Henry

"Man's Sensitivity to trivia, and his insensitivity to matters of major importance, reveal he has a strange disorder."
-Blaise Pascal


"Most people lack the true repentance. They lack the true contrition, the true brokenness. They are void of urgent desperation. They don't have a true relationship to Jesus Christ. They just "hang around" Jesus... And they do not know what it means to bow to that which is eternal. To be concerned about that. They want a gospel that doesn't ask for repentance. They want a gospel that has no threats. They want a gospel that allows them to have some superficial attachment to Jesus, but not a bowing to His absolute sovereignty at any cost. They want a gospel that fixes them in this world to make them more comfortable. That's not it. And that's not what Jesus offers."
—John MacArthur

Battling Unbelief

The root of every single one of our sins is unbelief. Unbelief is turning away from Jesus to look for satisfaction somewhere else. Ultimately, the reason why we sin is because we believe our sin will satisfy us more than anything that God has to offer, which is a lie every single time. And we usually find that out the hard way. Here is an excellent sermon series by John Piper on battling unbelief and the sins that result from giving into it.
