Untitled Sermon (13)

Both false hope and a lack of hope spring from an ignorance or misunderstanding of God’s truth.

John F. MacArthur

The human heart is idolatrous and will worship anything it can possess. Therein lies the danger of the “good” things. We have surrendered evil things, bad things, but we hold on to the good things and these we are prone to worship. Whatever we refuse to surrender and count but loss we will ultimately worship. It may be something good, but it gets between you and God—whether it be property or family or reputation or security or your life itself.4

A. W. Tozer

You become stronger only when you become weaker. When you surrender your will to God, you discover the resources to do what God requires.

Erwin W. Lutzer

Love is ‘the willingness to surrender that which has value for our own life, to enrich the life of another’

John Stott
