“When Christ died, he died for you individually just as much as if you had been the only person in the world.” - C.S. Lewis
He hath set a fountain open for you to wash in from sin and uncleanness. Christ is calling, inviting, and wooing you; and the Holy Ghost is striving with you by his internal motions and influences. - Jonathan Edwards
At those times when I have read the Scriptures most, I have been most lively and in the best frame. -Jonathan Edwards
Saying guns kill people is like saying pencils misspell words.
Clinging to the Resurrection by J.C. Ryle
There is a resurrection after death. Let this never be forgotten. The life that we live here in the flesh is not all. The visible world around us is not the only world with which we have to do. All is not over...
He is no fool, no fool according to the best judgment, that cometh to God by Christ. The world indeed will count him one; for the things that be of the Spirit of God are foolishness to them; but indeed, and in the verdict of proper judgment, he is not so.
“Sin has defiled God’s work, God’s image, in man and woman.”
"Criticism is by far the number one reason why pastors are leaving the ministry today all around the world." -Joel Beeke.
God has established the laws of nature, and he maintains them through his continual influence.
Jonathan Edwards
To seek to please God and the world, where their commands are really at variance, is the way to be neither respectable, nor good, nor happy. -
William Wilberforce
How wonderful it is to be "justified freely by His grace" (Romans 3:24). Yet, what disappointment and discouragement await us, if we do not learn that God desires to sanctify us freely by His grace as well? As we should expect, this plan of God hinges upon the work of Jesus Christ, as we depend upon Him.
The Christian life is a paradox. We die to ourselves to live. We give to receive. The first shall be the last. We can only be lifted up if we willingly step down. We are called to abandon ourselves to faith – but not to be stupid just to test God.
The Lord will not abandon us to a grave of despair or failure, nor will He allow our lives to be decayed by sin. He died for us, that we might live in victory, in the abundant life He longs for us to live.
A Christian is not one who controls his faith, but who is controlled by his faith. —
Dr. John MacArthur
We want the glory, but are we prepared to make the sacrifice? Are we ready to take up our cross and follow Jesus Christ? Are we prepared to obey God?
“As medicine works diseases out of the body, so contentment works trouble out of the heart”. Thomas Watson
If your pastor is such a poor pastor that you can’t find anything to say to encourage him, then you need to find a new church. — Dane Ortlund
There is more pleasure in Christ than in sin, and remembering this weakens sin’s appeal. — Chris Anderson
Jesus Christ is the: • Way • Truth • Life • Light • Word • Son of God • Holy One • Author of life • Power of God • Lord of glory • Head of the Church • Blessed & only Sovereign • King of kings • Lord of lords • Almighty • Alpha & Omega • Savior
Happy Lord’s Day!
Don’t minimize the opportunities God has for you in the future.
“If you’re one of those people that are afraid to take calculated risks, worry about every little thing, and have a hard time making decisions in your life, it’s time to take a break and do a little work on yourself… I learned a long time ago that being timid and conservative will get you nowhere.”
