Quotes from Bryan Chapell

God wants us to understand the true malignancy of our sin—the problem is too severe to be remedied by our goodness.

On the contrary, we speak as men approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel.

False repentance is less concerned with the spiritual contamination of sin than it is with the personal consequences of sin. True repentance is chiefly concerned with the wrong we have done to our Savior and to others. Repentance of the first kind is self-preoccupied; true repentance is a selfless seeking of spiritual fellowship and renewal. False repentance flees correction; true repentance seeks it.
