Tweet, Tweet!

These are some of my favorite twitter tweets I have been chewing on at lunch for encouragement.

Martyn Lloyd-Jones: “When the church is absolutely different from the world she invariably attracts it.”

"Submit yourselves to the circumstances of God's choosing, for he purposes a crop of beauty." Samuel Rutherford

Sheep go in flocks, and so do God's people.CH Spurgeon

The Lord sends no one away empty except those who are full of themselves. -Dwight L. Moody

Believe the Gospel? Then you believe it changes the environment into which it comes, and you don't adjust the message to the setting.

The nature of Christ's salvation is woefully misrepresented by thepresent-day evangelist.He announces a Savior from Hell rather than a Savior from sin.
And that is why so many are fatally deceived,for there are multitudes who wish to escape the Lake of fire who have no desire to be delivered from their carnality and worldliness.”AWPink

"A sinning man stops praying, a praying man stops sinning...If weak in prayer, we are weak everywhere." - Leonard Ravenhill

“If your heart takes more pleasure in reading novels, or watching TV, or going to the movies, or talking to friends,
rather than just sitting alone with God and embracing Him, sharing His cares and His burdens, weeping and rejoicing with Him,
then how are you going to handle forever and ever in His presence?You'd be bored to tears in heaven,if you're not ecstatic about God now!”K.Green

It is the greatest praise of God's wisdom that He can turn the sins of man to His own glory. - Bishop Hall quoted by JC Ryle

Be ware of no one more than yourself; we carry our worst enemies within us - Spurgeon

The only way to avoid cannon-shot is to fall down. No such way to be freed from temptation as to keep low - Thomas Brooks

Anxiety is the result of the perspective that something is happening that God did not design for His glory & your good.

Are we prepared to pay the cost of sanctification? The cost will be a deep restriction of all our earthly concerns,
and an extensive cultivation of all our godly concerns.Oswald Chambers

Our lives will have a sense of the supernatural only to the degree that we tarry before the Word of God and live a life of prayer.

An unforgiving and quarrelsome spirit is the surest mark of an unregenerate heart. - J C Ryle

"It matters not how many 'decisions' a man has taken, if there is no change in his life he is just not a Christian."

If you want to look impressive in this world's eyes, then you stand in severe danger of being unimpressive in God's eyes.

There are preachers, teachers, and bloggers beyond number,
but the great need of the church is men and women who spend time alone with God.

paulwasher Paul Washer
I am greatly burdened for the young who claim to be radical for Christ, but are conformed to their godless culture - especially in clothing.

When you say,“I don’t think I could ever doubt God’s goodness again!” Is it after He has just
given you something you thought you could never have, or after He has just taken away something you thought you could never lose?

To cease to do evil is a small matter if we do not learn to do well.

Never be satisfied with religious reformation without heart conversion
