Famous John F. MacArthur Quotes

“Why is discipline important? Discipline teaches us to operate by principle rather than desire.

It deposes our lust and permits truth, virtue, and integrity to rule our minds instead.”

“Contrary to popular opinion, the most important characteristic of a godly mother is not her relationship with her children. It is her love for her husband.

The properly situated family has marriage at the center; families shouldn't revolve around the children.”
