"Pressure in ministry, rather than stifling creativity, can lead to new insights and deeper understanding. This is a testament to the Holy Spirit's work, encouraging us to embrace challenges as opportunities for growth. If you have the mindset Under Pressure I can't be creative or under pressure I can't have new thoughts or under pressure I don't get breakthroughs, you're selling the Holy Spirit short." [00:01:49]
"Depravity is a unalterable bias in our hearts to prefer the created thing to God or more specifically to prefer the glory of created things to the glory of God. So we are in treason against the purpose of God in the universe to uphold and display his glory for the maximum enjoyment of a redeemed people." [00:06:03]
"The gospel is an event in history. If you take away the event, the objective event of the death for us and the resurrection, there is no gospel. The event achieved something outside of us before we were born. We didn't have anything to do with this achievement." [00:11:00]
"Saving faith is receiving the righteousness and the death of another. Faith must receive Christ as supremely valuable, supremely glorious. This is really relevant. Nominalism in our churches, easy believism in our churches is a big problem. Many people receive Christ as sin forgiver because they love being guilt-free, not because they love Christ." [00:25:59]
"Your task is huge indeed, your task is impossible because you have people who are preferring the creature over the glory of the creator. They are unalterably biased that way. You're called to raise the dead and to awaken in them a preference for the glory of God revealed in Christ." [00:46:50]
"The gospel is a free offer for faith, not works. If the event goes, there's no gospel. If the event didn't achieve those things, there's no gospel. If it comes to us by works, there's no gospel. So the nature of our obtaining it, receiving it, becoming a beneficiary of it is faith alone." [00:16:47]
"Faith is chosen by God, ordained by God, designed by God as the way of Salvation because it better than any other Act of the Heart Like Love Maybe will make clear that the objective work of Christ outside of me satisfying all of God's demands must be received as what I could never do for myself." [00:36:03]
"Faith alone justifies, not love. God intends to make it crystal clear that he does the decisive saving outside of us, that the work and person of Christ are the sole ground of our acceptance with God. In other words, don't replace Faith with any other virtue." [00:28:10]
"Faith is the peculiarly receiving Grace which none other is. Were we said to be justified by repentance, by Love, by any other Grace, it would convey to us the idea that something good in US is the consideration on which the blessing was bestowed, but justification by faith contains conveys no such idea." [00:31:31]
"Saving faith is based on an objective on objective facts of Christ's work for us outside of us and upon seeing those facts as glorious. This spiritual sight, spiritual Holy Spirit given sight of the glory of God and face of Christ or the glory of Christ who is the image of God in the cross in the gospel." [00:49:33]
"Faith is the only Act of the heart that corresponds to those two satisfactions in a necessary way. Faith is chosen by God, ordained by God, designed by God as the way of Salvation because it better than any other Act of the Heart Like Love Maybe will make clear that the objective work of Christ outside of me satisfying all of God's demands must be received as what I could never do for myself." [00:22:36]
"Faith is the peculiarly receiving Grace which none other is. Were we said to be justified by repentance, by Love, by any other Grace, it would convey to us the idea that something good in US is the consideration on which the blessing was bestowed, but justification by faith contains conveys no such idea."
