“Unity among leaders is a special kind of gift to a church. It is a cause for great rejoicing.” -John Piper: Yes. I used to think it was normal but now I know Corinth is normality and am thankful to be part of a local church where in 48 years we have been kept from division.(GJW)
"Why do we fear to preach the doctrine of predestination of saints, and of the genuine grace of God? Is there any cause to dread, lest man should be induced to despair of his condition, when his hope is demonstrated to be founded on God alone? Is there not much stronger reason for him to despair, if, in pride and unbelief, he founds his hope of salvation on himself?" - Thomas Bradwardine (d. 1349): (Webb Le Bas, Life of Wiclif, London (1832), 77).
When it comes to church membership, the line of exclusion means to provoke the desire for inclusion. It's a closed door, but it's a glass door that people can see through and open with the mere push of repentance and faith.- Jonathan Leeman (@JonathanDLeeman)
