"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."

Wow, what a hard question. Well, one of the most dramatic, and therefore one of my favorite, scenes is the Duel of the Fates battle in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. It's the scene where Qui-Gon and Obi-Won fight Darth Maul: http://youtube.com/watch?v=Lt5Z54L6efo

Next, there's two very emotional clips from the movie The Pursuit of Happyness, both of which have extremely good acting on the part of Will Smith. The first is a highly emotional scene with Chris Gardner and his son spending the night in the bathroom: http://youtube.com/watch?v=OzmpRPKAQiA

Second, the ending to the movie: http://youtube.com/watch?v=A-2GJRixxRI
For both of these clips, I practically bawled my eyes out.

There are many more movie scenes I love, but I think these'll do for now :grin:

This here is my favorite part of the movie Ordinary People. Although it cuts off at the best part (PM me for details 'cause I don't want to spoil it), it's still a good clip. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpQT7Ded66U

Too many to mention, but two from utube that always get me.....both have *MAJOR SPOILERS*

The Healing Scene from Lady in the Water (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EP6O8ypB6v4). This scene truly sums up the real message of this movie.....I really don't know why, but I always start crying watching this....

Also, The Final Scene from Signs (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HRWrBD2Quk&feature=user), another amazing message.....

the Hospital/OR scene in Jacob's Ladder. There's a clip of it on YouTube, but . . . I probably shouldn't post it here. Kinda icky.

The scientific method," Thomas Henry Huxley once wrote, "is nothing but the normal working of the human mind." That is to say, when the mind is working; that is to say further, when it is engaged in corrrecting its mistakes. Taking this point of view, we may conclude that science is not physics, biology, or chemistry—is not even a "subject"—but a moral imperative drawn from a larger narrative whose purpose is to give perspective, balance, and humility to learning.

Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge

Theres a great scene in 28 days later when Jim (the main character) and the rest of the cast looking into the feild watching horses run across a field and Jim says "think they are infected?" then it cuts to the horses running across the field and then the father figure says " No not them, they made it through" Its just a very well shot scene and it was beautiful IMO.

Wow. I don't even know the first thing about Ordinary People, but when I saw this clip, I could feel the emotion. It didn't really matter that I didn't know the characters or what they were talking about; I could understand the emotion of the scene. And wow, that was extremely good acting on the younger man's part :cool:

Yeah. He won the Best Supporting Actor award for that role. And he was only 20!

I just remembered my favorite scene in The Chronicles of Riddick, which also contains perhaps my favorite movie quote ever: "I'll kill you with my teacup."

XD good scene. Made that movie watchible. Pitch Black was so much better IMO. Also the ending few scenes in saving private Ryan where amazing, so good and powerful. Also the wedding scene in Princess Bride so funny. The end of Saw greatest twist ever, and the climax of Die hard. Oh and 12 monkeys so many great scenes they all were awesome specially once you find out whats going on.

I just saw Last of the Mohicans last night... the ending would easily have to go down as one of my all time favorite movie scenes. I thought it was a fantastic scene. No dialog, beautiful scenery shot along some cliffs, and epic music.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=5SoeDAPj6gg

(spoilers of course, its the ending... a little violent too)

Others would be
Pan's Labyrinth Ending
The fight betweent Oren-Ishii and "The Bride" at the end of Kill Bill Volume 1
The Ice Sculpture Dance in Edward Scissorhands
Arwen's Fate in LOTR:The Two Towers (where Elrond is narrating).

You've opened Pandora's Box. Each of these scenes listed below is cinematic perfection. Meet these scenes and you'll see the best of cinema. Not that all of these movies are everyone's cup of tea. But these scenes are best seen in their place in the movies and links would only spoil them, so get thee to a renterry!

• Alfred Hitchock's Vertigo: The Dream Sequence

Ikiru: The scene on the swing at the end.

Amadeus: The scene where Salieri, while watching Don Giovanni, not only concocts a plan to kill Mozart, but also realises he's losing his mind, but continues on his route anyway. One of the greatest performances in the English Language, right there!

There Will be Blood: The Milkshake Speech

The Good the Bad and the Ugly: In a movie made of great scenes, the Showdown at the end is the best.

Fargo: "And here ya are, and its a beautiful day. I just don't understand it."

Dumbo: Pink Elephants on Parade

Seven Samurai (the B&W original): Almost half-way into the movie the Toshiro Mifune character, Kikuchiyo addresses the other samurai and reveals to them why the peasants they protect are such pathetic, untrustworthy figures. Arguably one of the best scenes ever filmed.

Aguirre: The wrath of God: Not everyone's cup of tea. Scratch that, this movie is difficult for even art-house movie buffs. But the ending with the monkeys is incredible to watch and, for no particular reason, deeply disturbing.

Fitzcarraldo: The scene where the smoking ship slowly creeps up the mountain. Incredible!

The Godfather: The last scene where Pacino and Marlon Brando share the screen.

Atonement (2007): The final interview at the end. It just breaks your heart.

Steamboat Bill Jr: The scene where the hurricane tears the city apart with poor Buster Keaton caught in the middle.

The Passion of Joan of Arc: The scene where Joan of Arc gets burned on the steak is one of the most heart-wrenching things I've seen.

Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro: The chase scene on the mountain road.
