The sweetest prayers God ever hears are the groans and sighs of those who have no hope in anything but his love.
Charles Spurgeon
"We ought to be prayerfully dependent upon God, as those who know that if they were left by divine grace they would go back unto perdition." -
Charles Spurgeon
“It is not your business to succeed, but to do right; when you have done so, the rest lies with God.” - C.S. Lewis
“There is, in fact, no redemptive work done anywhere without suffering.” ~
Elisabeth Elliot
May we sit at the foot of the cross; and there learn what sin has done, what justice has done, and what love has done.
“God does not want an apartment in our house. He claims our entire home from attic to cellar.” #BillyGraham
The church can never abandon the world, never let go of her, because until the very end she sees the world as the territory of God’s infinite possibilities.
"Oh, to be bathed in a text of Scripture, and to let it be sucked up into your very soul, till it saturates your heart." —
Charles Spurgeon
Kindness, helping, and considering others first show them the love of Jesus!
Sometimes failure can be good because we can learn from our mistakes. And failure can be good even when we do something that is wrong—if we learn from it and if we learn to fail forward.
We are living on the brink of the apocalypse but the world is asleep.
~Joel C. Rosenberg~
The cure for worry is one word: trust. Trust in our Heavenly Father, in His love and caring provision.
With every storm? Drop anchor in Jesus once again! He is our source of hope!
Don’t underestimate the devil. He’s a sly and skillful foe. And he has had many years of experience in honing his craft.
Truly, no one would be able to see Christ in his glory and majesty unless you have first seen yourself in your degradation and shame.
~C.H. Spurgeon~
Oswald Chambers writes, “Our yesterdays present irreparable things to us . . . but God can transform this destructive anxiety into a constructive thoughtfulness for the future. Let the past sleep, but let it sleep in the bosom of Christ.”
Oswald Chambers again: “Are you looking unto Jesus now, in the immediate matter that is pressing, and receiving peace from Him? If so, He will be a gracious benediction of peace in and through you. But if you try to worry it out, you obliterate Him.”
God has provided us with many powerful tools through prayer, teaching, counseling, and especially the promises of His Word. The Scriptures teach so many wonderful encouragements and exhortations about living with our past, present, and future, especially the words of Jesus.
As long as Christ sits on the throne, every day is a good day.
A.W. Tozer
"The church may go through her dark ages, but Christ is with her at midnight." —
Charles Spurgeon
Sin is mighty and powerful, but grace is far superior in riches and abundance.
