Pithy quotes from Adrian Rogers. Our sins were the nails that
nailed him to that tree, and our hard hearts were the hammers
that drove those nails. Reputation is what others think
about you. Character is what God knows about
you. If you live for this world, then
you are in the junk business. It's all just premature junk. Some people go to hell with a
chest full of Sunday school attendance pins. Anything you love more, fear
more, serve more, or value more than God is your idol. To be almost saved is to be totally
lost. The devil would just as soon
send you to hell from the pew as from the gutter. God is sovereign, so live confidently. God is holy, so live reverently. Where God leads, he feeds. Where
God directs, he protects. Where God guides, he provides. Have you ever wondered what a
church full of Pharisees would be like? One, they would all
attend every service. Two, they would all tithe. 3.
They would all work in the church. 4. They would all go to hell. The man molds the idol and then
the idol molds the man. Justice is God giving us what
we deserve. Mercy is God not giving us what
we deserve. Grace is God giving us what we
don't deserve. God only wants for us what we
would want for ourselves, if we were wise enough to know what
is best for us. Character is what we are in the
dark. The grace of God will exalt a
person without inflating him and will humble a person without
debasing him. Evangelism is one beggar telling
another beggar where to find bread. Serenity is not freedom from
the storm, but peace amid the storm. Holiness is not the way to Christ. Christ is the way to holiness. Is what I am living for worth
Christ's dying for?
