Nowhere does Scripture encourage us to have an angel-fetish, or to look for evidence of angels in everyday life... [Furthermore] biblical appearances of angels - unlike those of popular lore - often cause trauma and great fear.
John MacArthur

John MacArthur
No sin that a person commits has more built-in pitfalls, problems and destructiveness than sexual sin. It has broken more marriages, shattered more homes, caused more heartache and disease, and destroyed more lives than alcohol and drugs combined. It causes lying, stealing, cheating and killing, as well as bitterness, hatred, slander, gossip and unforgiving
John MacArthur

Discipline sometimes must be severe because the consequences of not disciplining are much worse. Sin is a spiritual malignancy and it will not long stay isolated. Unless removed it will spread its infection until the whole fellowship of believers is diseased.
John MacArthur
"There is a zero tolerance policy with Jesus for false teachers. If someone denies the true meaning of Scripture, denies the true identity of Christ, and denies the true gospel, that is not a tolerable person. We do not get together with those kind of people to find out what we hold in common. Our Lord indicates here that rather than welcome these people, we ought to flee from them because, as Jude put it, if you get too close to them, your garments will be singed. You need to be rescued from them. When we engage people who teach lies, it is to make war, not peace."
John MacArthur
"Staunch intolerance of error is built into the very fabric of Scripture."

"There are people who think that if you're religious you'll receive less condemnation. I think Hell will be the hottest for religious people, especially religious false teachers, agents of Satan who, sons of Hell themselves, produce more sons of Hell. They will receive a greater condemnation, not a lesser condemnation." ~ John MacArthur, sermon, "Religion and Its Victims."
John MacArthur
"All false teachers, all purveyors of false religion, are the enemies of Christ, and the enemies of truth, and the enemies of the gospel, and the enemies of souls."

"When you have to beware of your protectors, you're in trouble. When you can't trust the people who are supposed to show you the truth, and show you what is right, and show you what God wants, you are really in trouble. Protect yourself against your protectors. Protect yourself against your shepherd. Protect yourself against your pastor."
John MacArthur
"Not everyone who claims to be a Christian really is. Unbelievers do make false professions of faith in Christ, and people who are not truly Christians can be deceived into thinking they are."
John MacArthur
"The biggest problem in the church is its inability and unwillingness to distinguish true Christians from false. It's literally killing the church."
John MacArthur
"You would be better off to spend an evening in a bar or a saloon then an evening in a church or an institution propagating false religion."
John MacArthur
"There are many people who call themselves Christians who could not give a biblical explanation of the gospel. Now how can you be a Christian if you don't know the gospel? How can you be in Christ if you don't know what the Bible says about how to be in Christ?"
