We are to trust in God's faithfulness, not to test it.

Quote of the Day
The
Gospel itself is the power of God unto salvation (Rom 1:16)…Since unbelief is
at heart a moral, rather than an intellectual problem, no amount of evidences
will ever turn unbelief to faith. But
the revealed Word of God has inherent power to do so…
John MacArthur

Quote of the Day
This is the cardinal
virtue of philosophers; they extinguish one another. Their fine-spun theories
do not often survive the generation that admires them. A fresh race starts fresh
theories of unbelief, which live their day, like ephemera, and then
expire.
C. H.
Spurgeon

Quote of the Day
…Dr Lloyd-Jones
believed that, while the truth ought to result in profound emotion, the
cultivation of 'emotionalism' was thoroughly alien to true Christianity. Feeling alone
he saw as not merely valueless, it was positively dangerous. 'Emotionalism is ever the most real, because
the most subtle, enemy of evangelicalism.'
True feeling must be a result of truth believed and understood, and he
frequently gave warning against that type of service where attempts are made to
induce emotion by 'working up' the
meeting with music and choruses, or by the telling of moving stories. 'tears are a poor criterion for faith, being
carried away in a meeting by eloquence or singing or excitement is not the same
as committing oneself to Christ.' To aim
at emotion is the surest way to produce counterfeit Christians.
Thus his belief was
that where feeling could be restrained it ought to be restrained. The power of God was more likely to be known
in a solemn stillness than amid noise and excitement.

Quote of the Day
If you believe what you like in the Gospel, and reject what you don't like, it is not the Gospel you believe, but yourself.
Augustine

Quote of the Day
Without saving faith, all moral virtues are but splendid sins!
Unbelief nullifies everything!
It is the dead fly in the ointment!
It is the poison in the pot!
All the moral virtues,
all the benevolence of philanthropy,
all the kindness of unselfish sympathy,
all the talents of genius,
all the bravery of patriotism
--give no title to Divine acceptance, for
"without faith it is impossible to please God."
(Heb. 11:6)
Charles
Spurgeon
