When the Spirit Moves
“Effective preaching is a supernatural event.”
Beeke, Reformed Preaching, p. 263
Yard Markers Have No Game Plan
“This is why we should want to preach the kind of hot gospel that creates the kind of people who take those risks. The way we sometimes talk, it is as though we think the yard markers on the sidelines of the football game are capable of making first downs. And in a free economy, people don’t take risks (for the most part) because they are daredevils. They take risks because of who and what they love. Civilizations are built by men who have families to feed.”
Mis-Inflation, p. 108

The Challenging Chapters
“Uncle Wyatt has gold under the floorboards because the government can’t print it, and he has the idea that there is an inevitable crackup coming—when the government will desperately need to print gold and won’t be able to. In other words, I don’t think many of them are thinking so much like nine to five steady-as-she-goes investors as they are thinking like someone trying to survive a mash-up between Thunderdome and the killer-bee part of the book of Revelation.”
