"Sometimes we don't present the Gospel well enough for the non-elect to reject it."
- John MacArthur

"In the total expanse of the human life, there is not a single square inch of which Christ, who alone is sovereign, does not declare, 'That is mine'."
- Abraham Kuyper

"God the great Creator of all things doth uphold, direct, dispose, and govern all creatures, actions, and things, from the greatest even to the least, by His most wise and holy providence, according to His infallible foreknowledge and the free and immutable counsel of His own will, to the praise of the glory of His wisdom, power, justice, goodness, and mercy."
- Westminister Confession of Faith (Chapter 5, Section 1)

"The wisdom of God has found a way for the love of God to deliver sinners from the wrath of God all the while upholding the righteousness of God!!"
- John Piper

"Grace is the pleasure of God to magnify the worth of God by giving sinners the right and power to delight in God without obscuring the glory of God!"
-John Piper

"The very One from Whom we need to be saved, is the One Who has saved us."
- R.C. Sproul

"All of Christian life is ceaseless worship of God the Father, through the mediatorship of God the Son, by the indwelling power of God the Spirit, doing what God commands in Scripture, not doing what God forbids in Scripture, in culturally contextualized ways, for the furtherance of the Gospel, when both gathered for adoration, and scattered for action, in joyous response to God's glorious grace."
- Mark Driscoll

"Believers do not pray with the view of informing God about things unknown to Him, or of exciting Him to do His duty, or of urging Him as though He were reluctant. On the contrary, they pray in order that they may arouse themselves to seek Him, that they may exercise their faith in meditating on His promises, that they may relieve themselves from their anxieties by pouring them into His bosom; in a word, that they may declare that from Him alone they hope and expect, both for themselves and for others, all good things."
- Martin Luther

"I have to tell you first that I am ready to die. I have put my affairs in order. Your supreme weapon is killing. My supreme weapon is dying, because when you kill me, people all over Romania will read my books and believe on the God that I preach - even more than they do now."
- Dr. Joseph Ton, the exiled Romanian pastor (quoted by James Montgomery Boice)

"The best prayer I ever prayed had enough sin in it to condemn the whole world."
- John Bunyan

"If the Christian has lost sight of Calvary, that shows that he has lost his way."
- J.I. Packer[/SIZE]

Some of what I'll be listing, you may already be familiar with, so bear with me if I mention something you already know. XD Additionally, I'll be listing not only Christian bands, but bands with Christian members (bands that don't consider themselves "Christian bands", that is) that have clean lyrics. Basically, you can find most of these in your Christian bookstore.

Anberlin
Five Iron Frenzy (I couldn't find a link to their music, look them up on YouTube for examples)
Watashi Wa
Leeland (I couldn't find a link to their music, look them up on YouTube for samples)
Mae
Future of Forestry
House of Heroes
Fair
MxPx
Sufjan Stevens
This Day and Age
Copeland

Hope you find something you like! :D

PFR and The Waiting are good Christian bands that don't seem to get a lot of love these days

For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

Well, if I would have suggested anything, it's already been said. Except for Jump5; I loooove their music, but not many other people do. They split up back after they released their last CD in October. So sad...

Yeah, I'm such a kid. :P
