| 6ca0d19 | We allow our daily concerns to turn into worry and therefore sin when our thoughts become focused on changing the future instead of doing our best to handle our present circumstances. | John F. MacArthur Jr. | ||
| b4cd89e | La justificacion es distinta de la santificacion, porque en la justificacion de Dios no hace justo al pecador, El lo declara justo (Romanos 3.28; Galatas 2.16). La justificacion imputa la justicia de Cristo a favor del pecador (Romanos 4.11). La santificacion imparte justicia al pecador personalmente y en la practica (Romanos 6.1-7; 8.11-14). La justificacion tiene lugar fuera de los pecadores y los cambios de su situacion (Romanos 5.1-2). .. | John F. MacArthur Jr. | ||
| e5ae7ca | For those who may not yet know Him, my prayer is that the Lord will draw you through this study of His Word and by the truth of the gospel to embrace Christ with your whole heart as Lord and Savior and friend. Regardless of who you are or what circumstances brought you here, may the Spirit of God impress on you the importance of giving your all to Him who freely gave His all for His people. | John F. MacArthur Jr. | ||
| 884542c | If the disciples had their eyes set on great prominence and high rewards in eternity, they had to know the path to that end is marked by great suffering and endurance. | John F. MacArthur Jr. | ||
| c0c000a | We're not concerned with the temporal and transient. Our success isn't measured in hours, or even centuries. Our focus is fixed on eternity. The gospel is hard to believe, and the people who bring it to the world are nobodies. The plan is still the same for all who are God's clay pots. To summarize, here is Paul's humble, five-point strategy: We will not lose heart. We will not alter the message. We will not manipulate the results, because .. | John F. MacArthur Jr. | ||

| b9934b2 | One more thing that stands in the middle of the road of easy-believism is the truth of the sovereignty of God. Years ago, I used to hear people say, "Don't ever preach the doctrine of the sovereignty of God when you have nonbelievers in the audience." People literally warned me against that. But here is another offensive bit of news for the unbeliever: God is sovereign, and you are not. You are not the captain of your soul or the master of .. | John F. MacArthur Jr. | ||

| 86fc9ca | Christians, it would seem, are stuck with a very unattractive product to promote: Christ on the cross. This is a weak, shameful image that offends the sensibilities and shocks the refined emotions of decent people. The claim that Roman soldiers executed the God of the universe on a cross, like a criminal, also assaults our rational minds. It's an affront to the pride we carry for having the gift of reason that puts us above the animals. | John F. MacArthur Jr. | ||

| 9cc0b85 | Paul did not initiate the choice to be saved, much less the choice to be an apostle. He was "called as an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God" -- | John F. MacArthur Jr. | ||
| ce27b5a | He predestined us to adoption as sons through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the kind intention of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He freely bestowed on us in the Beloved" (Eph. 1:5-6; cf. v. 9)." | John F. MacArthur Jr. | ||
| 15b0ebd | we will not manipulate people to get the desired superficial results, because we know, as 2 Corinthians 4:3-4 affirms, that "even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them." The problem is not the seed, it's the soil. It's the unreceptive, barren condition.. | John F. MacArthur Jr. | ||
| ba46c29 | In 2 Corinthians 4:6-7, Paul wrote, "For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us." And that brings us full circle to where we started in this chapter: at the end of the day there is no human explanation fo.. | John F. MacArthur Jr. | ||

| aa2ba8a | One's relationship to windows now changed in the city. A window was the border through which death was possibly most likely to come. Windows could not stop even the most flagging round of ammunition: any spot indoors with a view of the outside was a spot potentially in the crossfire. Moreover the pane of a window could itself become shrapnel so easily, shattered by a nearby blast, and everyone had heard of someone or other who had bled out .. | Mohsin Hamid | ||

| b52310b | Tambien les refirio Jesus una parabola sobre la necesidad de orar siempre, y no desmayar. LUCAS 18.1 Normalmente no pensamos que la oracion es un trabajo. Tendemos a pensar que es algo inactivo. Pero no lo es. La oracion es esfuerzo y es el primero y mas importante trabajo de todo ministerio. La oracion por si misma es, despues de todo, un reconocimiento implicito de la soberania de Dios. Sabemos que no podemos cambiar los corazones de las .. | John F. MacArthur Jr. | ||

La verdadera confesion de pecado no es solo admitir que hizo algo mal, sino que reconoce que su pecado fue contra Dios y haciendo caso omiso de El personalmente. Por lo tanto, la caracteristica principal de la confesion es estar de acuerdo con Dios que se es un impotente culpable. De hecho, la palabra griega para confesion literalmente significa < |

| 3045d51 | I often tell young pastors that the fastest way to lose people's trust is not by preaching a bad sermon. People will forgive that. The fastest way to lose credibility as a leader is to make a foolish decision that leads people down a blind alley or off the end of a pier. Too many young men in ministry make impetuous and ill-considered decisions. They lead without looking where they are going. They don't count the cost. They aren't cautious .. | John F.

| 6b765fd | El texto mas contundente que habla del canon cerrado es las Escrituras a las que nada ha sido anadido por 1.900 anos: Yo testifico a todo aquel que oye las palabras de la profecia de este libro: Si alguno anadiere a estas cosas, Dios traera sobre el las plagas que estan escritas en este libro. Y si alguno quitare de las palabras del libro de esta profecia, Dios quitara su parte del libro de la vida, y de la santa ciudad y de las cosas que e.. | John F. MacArthur Jr. | ||
| 12ed458 | I've read and reread William Tyndale, David Daniells's substantial biography. Thomas More was a great defender of Roman Catholicism in England, and he felt himself the servant of God in taking on William Tyndale and doing everything he could to destroy his work. Tyndale did what More thought was an absolutely horrible thing: he translated the Bible into a language people could read, in defiance of the Catholic hierarchy of the time. They we.. | John F.

Is it not because I have held My peace from of old That you do not fear Me? 12I will declare your righteousness And your works, For they will not profit you." | John F. MacArthur Jr. | ||
| 497965c | When you worry, you are saying in effect, "God, I just don't think I can trust You." Worry strikes a blow at the person and character of God." | John F. MacArthur Jr. | ||
| d62f5c1 | Leadership for the Christian always has a spiritual dimension. The duty of leading people carries with it certain spiritual obligations. That is as true for the Christian president of a secular company as it is for the stay-at-home mom whose sphere of leadership might extend no further than her own children. All Christians in every kind of leadership are called to be spiritual leaders. | John F. MacArthur Jr. | ||

| 93363ff | Sea por muerte o por rapto, cada creyente se presentara un dia ante el Amo celestial para ser evaluado y recompensado. Una vez mas, el esclavo obediente no tiene nada que temer frente al Amo. Por otro lado, los creyentes que dedican sus vidas a actividades temporales y sin valor deben esperar de Cristo una recompensa minima. Los pecados de todo creyente, por supuesto, son perdonados para siempre | John F. MacArthur Jr. | ||
| 93aad38 | I have always found Christian biography to be inherently practical. A book that expounds the history or career of a noble Christian doesn't usually need to be enhanced with explicit how-to steps or imperatives and admonitions directed at the reader. The testimony of a godly life by itself is sufficient to motivate. That is why I treasure the life stories and memoirs of godly leaders. | John F. MacArthur Jr. | ||
| daedb6e | If anyone is ever to be kept out of heaven for my sins, it will have to be Jesus, for He took them all upon Himself and made Himself responsible for them. But He is in heaven already, never to be turned out, so now I know that I am secure. | John F. MacArthur Jr. | ||

And that happens only by the life-giving, light-sending, soul-transforming power of the Holy Spirit, in perfect fulfillment of the eternal plan of God. Your opinion or my opinion is not part of the equation. The kingdom does not advance by human cleverness. It doe.. | John F. MacArthur Jr. | ||

| 87d9ac4 | Every page of the New Testament is in perfect agreement. From Jesus' Sermon on the Mount to the book of Revelation, the message is consistent. It acknowledges the hopelessness of human depravity, but it points to Christ as the only remedy for that dilemma. Starting with the historical facts of His death and resurrection, it proclaims salvation by divine grace (rather than by the sinner's own works); the full and free forgiveness of sins; th.. | John F.

| d6a92e3 | Tu mayor prioridad como padre, entonces, es ser un evangelista en tu propio hogar. Debes ensenar a tu hijo la ley de Dios; ensenarle el evangelio de la gracia divina; mostrarle la necesidad que tiene de un Salvador, y senalarle a Jesucristo como el unico que puede salvarlo. Si crece sin una aguda conciencia de su necesidad de salvacion, tu, como padre, habras fracasado en tu tarea primordial como su guia espiritual. | John F. MacArthur Jr. | ||

Location, location, location, the realtors say. Geography is destiny, respond the historians. War | Mohsin Hamid |
