Barrett

“You are going to hear a rumor one day that Voddie Baucham is no more. Don't you believe it. Don’t you believe it. Don’t you believe it. Because though I die, I will rise with Christ.

You pity the one who has no absolutely hope because they have no resurrected Christ.”

—Voddie Baucham

"Tignan mo, sa dulo ng lahat, yung ebidensya na nasa harap natin— yung confident na pagpupumilit ng unang mga Kristyano na talagang bakante ang libingan at tunay na nakita nila si Jesus, at dahil sa experience na iyon sila'y naniniwala, nabago ang mga pananaw nila sa buhay, at determinadong pinanghawakan nila ang mga paniniwala nila kahit sa harap ng kamatayan— ang ebidensyang ito ay maipapaliwang lamang ng nag-iisang posibilidad:

Si Jesus ay talagang, tunay, pisikal, at historically na muling nabuhay mula sa kamatayan."

“Peter observed that those who are not practicing these virtues have forgotten their baptism and their forgiveness of sins. In other words, they are not living as forgiven sinners.

“This is the God who makes his people sing in thanksgiving, contrition, petition, lament, and reflection. Taken together, these psalms indicate the kind of relationship that God wants his people to have with him. It is deeply authentic, not the kind of religion characterized by mumbo jumbo, merely formal religious duties, self-importance, and religious arrogance, all of it carefully masking a stinking hypocrisy. The intensity of the psalms conspires to underscore that God cannot be deceived by religious rituals. He wants his image-bearers to enjoy a real relationship with him, the true and living God.”  —D. A. Carson

“When Christians unite around something other than the gospel, they create community that would likely exist even if God didn’t. As a modern-day tower of Babel, that community glorifies their strength instead of God’s.” —Jamie Dunlop
