Tom Chantry on "A Declaration from Liberty"

"The Ergun Caner's of the world are not going away because one of them was caught. The peddlers of falsehood will continue to plague the church. They can only be thwarted when we stop exalting talented ministers without regard for truth or character, when we demand that preachers give us Christ and the Scriptures rather than anecdotes and jokes, when we recover a sense of the glory of God in worship and put away our crass desire for entertainment, and when we trust God to give growth to the church rather than put our faith in men and programs."

-Tom Chantry's closing words from this piece regarding the Ergun Caner controversey

The Resolutions of Jonathan Edwards

Jonathan Edwards' Resolutions: And Advice to Young ConvertsResolution 8. Resolved, to act, in all respects, both speaking and doing, as if nobody had been so vile as I, and as if I had committed the same sins, or had the same infirmities or failings as others; and that I will let the knowledge of their failings promote nothing but shame in myself, and prove only an occasion of my confessing my own sins and misery to God.

Resolution 21. Resolved, never to do anything, which if I should see in another, I should count a just occasion to despise him for, or to think any way the more meanly of him.

Missions and Predestination

"At the beginning of my missionary career I said that if predestination were true I could never be a missionary. Now after twenty some years of struggling with the hardness of the human heart, I say I could never be a missionary unless I believed in the doctrine of predestination."
-John Alexander, former president of Inter Varsity Fellowship, quoted by John Piper in his book Let The Nations Be Glad!

Love is Helping People Toward God

Let the Nations Be Glad!: The Supremacy of God in Missions"Love is helping people toward the greatest beauty, the highest value, the deepest satisfaction, the most lasting joy, the biggest reward, the most wonderful friendship, and the most overwhelming worship - love is helping people toward God. We do this by pointing to the greatness of God. And God does it by pointing to the greatness of God."
John Piper | Let the Nations Be Glad!: The Supremacy of God in Missions p.52
