We are not saved in order to be a blessing to other people––you will be that inevitably––but primarily we are saved in order to be conformed to the likeness of Jesus Christ, God’s Son.” ~Alan Redpath~
To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you. ~C.S. Lewis~
Neglect can kill as much as persecution.” William Barclay
The cardinal error against which the gospel of Christ has to contend is the effect of the tendency of the human heart to rely on salvation by works.
~C. H. Spurgeon~
“All Joy reminds. It is never a possession, always a desire for something longer ago or further away or still ‘about to be’.”—
C.S. Lewis
Holy is the way God is. To be holy He does not conform to a standard. He is that standard. He is absolutely holy with an infinite incomprehensible fullness of purity that is incapable of being other than it is.
~A. W. Tozer~
Many attend church weekly but avoid God daily

Any man touched by Jesus Christ is good publicity for the gospel. ~Vance Havner~
Liberty is not the same as license; to be free is not to be free and easy; the Christian is not free to please himself but to please God.
~John Blanchard~
Sin denies man the power of God in this life and the presence of God in the next. ~John Blanchard~
Our witness of Jesus is not necessarily something we DO. Rather, we are to BE a witness of His love, His healing power, His ability to take lives that are spiritually dead and make us alive.

“Lighthouses don’t fire guns or ring bells to call attention to their light, they just shine.” —Sherwood E. Wirt
In 1623, John Donne wrote these words (concluding his Meditation #17 from Devotions upon Emergent Occasions): "If by this consideration of another's danger, I take mine own into contemplation, and so secure myself, by making my recourse to my God, who is our only security."
Hold on to God’s promises while suffering. We know the journey’s end! No victory without
suffering. ~
J.R.R. Tolkien~
From eternity to eternity, the beauty of God is pervasive and practical. Ask him to
open the eyes of your heart (Ephesians 1:18). Give your life to this quest –seeing
and savoring more and more of the happifying beauty of God.
~John Piper~
The only freedom that man ever has is when he becomes a slave to Jesus Christ.
~R.C. Sproul~
“Now I should like to know whether your soul, tired of its own righteousness, is
learning to be revived by and to trust in the righteousness of Christ.”
~Martin Luther~
Time can be one of the most terrifying elements in the world or it can be a beautiful,
valuable thing.

We can be tired, weary, and emotionally distraught, but after spending time alone with
God, we find that He injects into our bodies energy, power, and strength.
~Charles Stanley~
In every Christian’s heart, there is a cross and a throne, and the Christian is on the
throne till he puts himself on the cross. If he refuses the cross he remains on the
throne.
~A.W. Tozer~
In the truest sense, Christian pilgrims have the best of both worlds. We have joy
whenever this world reminds us of the next, and we take solace whenever it does not.
~C.S. Lewis~
If we fail to bear and share the burdens of others, how can we call ourselves Christians?
We really have to look out for one another. As we obediently help each
other, we are fulfilling the Law of Christ––love.
It is the fellowship of the cross to experience the burden of the other. If one does not
experience it, the fellowship he belongs to is not Christian. If any member refuses to
bear that burden, he denies the law of Christ.
~Dietrich Bonhoeffer~
