“Noah found grace amidst a perverse generation (Gen 6: 8) Shem found grace within the family of Noah (Gen 9: 26) Abraham found grace amidst a pagan culture (Gen 12: 1, 15: 7) Isaac found grace within the family of Abraham (Genesis 17: 19) Jacob found grace in the womb (Genesis 25: 23) Israel found grace among the Nations (Deuteronomy 7: 6 to 11) Judah found grace within the family (Genesis 49: 8 to 10) David found grace within the tribe of Judah (2 Samuel 7: 11 to 16) Solomon found grace within the family of David (I Kings 11: 12 & 13) Rehoboam found grace within the family of Solomon (I Kings 12: 17) Mary found grace among the women (Luke 1: 28) The elect found grace among all the guilty sinners (Romans 8: 29, 30) What shall we say then? Is there injustice on God's part? By no means! For he says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.” So then it depends not on human will or exertion, but on GOD, who has mercy. (Romans 9: 14 to 16) #You did not choose me, I chose you - Soli Deo Gloria!”

“The cross is laid on every Christian. The first Christ-suffering which every man must experience is the call to abandon the attachments of this world. It is that dying of the old man which is the result of his encounter with Christ. As we embark upon discipleship we surrender ourselves to Christ in union with his death—we give over our lives to death. Thus it begins; the cross is not the terrible end to an otherwise god-fearing and happy life, but it meets us at the beginning of our communion with Christ. When Christ calls a man, he bids him come and die.”

“It does not answer the aim which God had in this institution, merely for men to have good commentaries and expositions on the Scripture, and other good books of divinity; because, although these may tend, as well as preaching, to give a good doctrinal or speculative understanding of the word of God, yet they have not an equal tendency to impress them on men's hearts and affections. God hath appointed a particular and lively application of his word, in the preaching of it, as a fit means to affect sinners with the importance of religion, their own misery, the necessity of a remedy, and the glory and sufficiency of a remedy provided; to stir up the pure minds of the saints, quicken their affections by often bringing the great things of religion in their remembrance, and setting them in their proper colours, though they know them, and have been fully instructed in them already.”

“I repeat: the pressure to apply is a modernist pressure, not a biblical pressure. William Willimon observes that most congregations love hearing preaching with this application emphasis. The only problem, he says, is that such preaching is not biblical preaching. The 'subtext' of so much of this must-apply preaching is, 'You are gods unto yourselves. Through this insight, this set of principles, this well applied idea, you can save yourselves by yourselves'.”
