“Be still...” —Psalm 46:10
Stillness is not the goal. It’s merely the door through which we fellowship and commune with the Lord, Spirit to spirit. Quiet yourself and be still; let God look at you.
I do believe that we are living in the last days. I know this has been said before but there are events happening in our world right now that, to me, are what we call signs of the times.
~Greg Laurie~
in Jude 17-18, we are told of people who will mock and walk in carnality––ungodly lusts. As Christians, in these Last Days, we must walk worthy of our call and always be ready for the return of Jesus Christ.
when we pray God’s Word over our kids, we literally cover them with the presence of Christ.
In order to live daily by the grace of God, we must be willing to walk in humility. "God … gives grace to the humble" (1 Peter 5:5).
The word of God offers extensive teaching concerning a life of humility. Moreover, in all of the Scriptures, we will find no greater insight than that which pertains to Jesus, the ultimate example of humility.
God delights in his love more than he delights in his justice. -

“My brethren, the love of Christ, like a great flood, rolls over the most rugged rocks of afflictions, so high above them that we may float in perfect peace where others are a total wreck.” -
Charles Spurgeon
"When a poor unawakened soul, who has long lingered under some bodily disease, dies, it is often said, 'It is happy for such a one that he is released.' A dreadful release! -from earth to hell!" -Sir Richard Hill.
Preach Christ, and Christ, and Christ, and Christ, and nothing else but Christ.
Charles Spurgeon
There is one thing that is even worse than controversy, and that is false doctrine tolerated, allowed, and permitted without protest. -

No hypocrite did ever prize Christ for a Sanctifier as well as Saviour. —

Till men have faith in Christ, their best services are but glorious sins.
Thomas Brooks (1608–1680)
“Sometimes we want things we were not meant to have. Because He loves us, the Father says no. Faith trusts that no.“ ~Elisabeth Elliot
There is an ungodly, self-sufficient exaltation that leads to defeat and dishonor. "Everyone who exalts himself will be abased" (Luke 18:14a). On the other hand, there is a godly, self-denying humility that leads to a proper exaltation. "He who humbles himself will be exalted" (Luke 18:14b).
