Selah...

Preferring anything to God is whoredom. "They whored after other gods." (Judges 2:17)

He who does not live as a saint here will never live as a saint hereafter - Spurgeon

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

Following Jesus to earn your righteousness = an impossibility.
Claiming Jesus' righteousness w/out following him = a myth

“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

“The nature of Christ's salvation is woefully misrepresented by the present-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

The heart that has really tasted the Grace of Christ will instinctively hate sin. -JC Ryle

"Mediocrity is always invisible until passion shows up and exposes it."

Any good-hearted goal,
without the desire to give people eternal joy in God,
is condemnation with a kind face."

Panting deer don't just decide 2 b thirsty:
their life depends on obtaining water.
Are we starved of the world, so we're desperate 4 Christ?


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

C. S. Lewis: "To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you."

Francis Chan: "The world needs Christians who don't tolerate the complacency of their own lives.

The house of the formalist is as empty of religion as the white of an egg is of savor - John Bunyan

When we deal seriously with our sins, God will deal gently with us. - Spurgeon

Knowledge is proud that He has learned so much; Wisdom is humble that he knows no more. - William Cowper

Lord, do Thou turn me into all ♥,& all my ♥ into obedience, & let my obedience be w/out interruption. Jeremy Taylor

The mercies of God make a sinner proud, but a saint humble. - Thomas Watson

Worry is momentary atheism crying out for correction by trust in a good, sovereign God. Suffering breaks self-reliance.

Have you no wish for others to be saved? Then you are not saved yourself. Be sure of that. - Spurgeon

We fear men so much, because we fear God so little - William Gurnal

No one is so miserable as the poor person who maintains the appearance of wealth - Spurgeon


Revival is when God gets so sick and tired of being misrepresented that He shows Himself." - Leonard Ravenhill

"Do not have your concert first and then tune your instrument afterward. Begin the day with the Word of God &prayer, and get first of all into harmony with Him." - Hudson Taylor

Resolved: never to do anything which I should be afraid to do if it were the last hour of my life--Jonathan Edwards


Be dogmatically true, obstinately holy, immovably honest, desperately kind, fixed upright. -
Spurgeon
