Christlikeness is the substance of spiritual dedication.

John F. MacArthur

#Spiritual, #Details,

The more you focus on yourself, the more distracted you will be from the proper path. The more you know Him and commune with Him, the more the Spirit will make you like Him. The more you are like Him, the better you will understand His utter sufficiency for all of life's difficulties. And that is the only way to know real satisfaction.

John F. MacArthur

#Focus, #Yourself, #Exhausted, #Counterfeit,

A miracle is an extraordinary event wrought by God through human agency, an event that cannot be explained by natural forces. Miracles are always designed to authenticate the human instrument God has chosen to declare a specific revelation to those who witness the miracle.

John F. MacArthur

#Miracle, #Humble, #Lukewarm, #Superstitions,

Godly character is not the result of good intentions, wishful thinking, some mystical 'zap,' or even sheer Bible knowledge. It's developed through the self-disciplined application of God's Word at a very basic level, enabled and empowered by God's Spirit

John F. MacArthur

#Thinking, #Character, #Wicked, #Splash,

God is not a cosmic killjoy. I know some people who believe He is. They think God runs around saying, 'There's one having fun; get him!' They believe God wants to rain on everybody's parade. But that isn't so. God made you. He knows how you operate best. And He knows what makes you happy. The happiness He gives doesn't stop when the party's over. It lasts because it comes from deep within.

John F. MacArthur

#Believe, #Gives, #Happy, #People,

The gospel according to Jesus explicitly and unequivocally rules out easy-believism. To make all of our Lord's difficult demands apply only to a higher class of Christians blunts the force of His entire message. It makes room for a cheap and meaningless faith - a faith that may be exercised with absolutely no impact on the fleshly life of sin. That is not saving faith.

John F. MacArthur

#Faith, #Gospel, #Message, #Loaded,

Nowhere in Scripture do we see real gifts of the Spirit operating when someone is out of control or under some sort of supernatural seizure. Nowhere does the New Testament teach that the Spirit of God causes Christians to fall into a trance, faint, or lapse into frenzied behavior. On the contrary, 'The fruit of the Spirit is... self-control.

John F. MacArthur

#Scripture, #Limitations, #Repentant, #Human Heart,

A person who is not being purified from sin has no claim on being saved from it.

John F. MacArthur

#Being, #Person, #Saved, #Sin,

Sixteen of the thirty-eight parables of Jesus deal with money. One out of ten verses in the New Testament deals with that subject. Scripture offers about five hundred verses on prayer, fewer than five hundred on faith, and over two thousand on money. The believer's attitude toward money and possessions is determinative.

John F. MacArthur

#Prayer, #Attitude, #Jesus, #Money,

Generosity is impossible apart from our love of God and of His people. But with such love, generosity not only is possible but inevitable.

John F. MacArthur

#Impossible, #People, #Perish, #Supports,

I am convinced, by the way, that friendships provide the most fertile soil for evangelism. When the reality of Christ is introduced into a relationship of love and trust that has already been established, the effect is powerful. And it seems that invariably, when someone becomes a true follower of Christ, that person's first impulse is to want to find a friend and introduce that friend to Christ.

John F. MacArthur

#Evangelism, #Friendship, #Limitations, #Rise,

God's grace is His unmerited favor toward the wicked, unworthy sinners, by which He delivers them from condemnation and death.

John F. MacArthur

#Favor, #Revelation, #Equipped, #Bride,

Prayer is the spontaneous response of the believing heart to God. Those truly transformed by Jesus Christ find themselves lost in wonder and joy of communion with Him. Prayer is as natural for the Christian as breathing.

John F. MacArthur

#Heart, #Prayer, #Concentrating, #Intention,

It means to preach the Bible in such a way, that the meaning of the Bible passage is presented entirely and exactly as it was intended by God. That's the challenge - the divine Word coming through the preacher.

John F. MacArthur

#Bible, #Preach, #Successors, #Prisoner,

Prayers are the nerves that move the muscles of omnipotence. Prayer is not an exercise in futility because God's will, will be done in any case; prayer is the means by which God's will is carried out.

John F. MacArthur

#God's Will, #Move, #Prayers, #Unemployed,

As a pastor, my job is not to judge. My job is to preach the Word, lift the fallen, to restore the broken, and to heal the hurting. Take it or leave it.
