Live in Christ, die in Christ, and the flesh need not fear death.
John Knox
The simple fact is that only if I love Jesus more than my wife or husband or friend will I be able to serve their needs ahead of my own.
How good we are as preachers depends - not altogether, but (make no mistake!) primarily - on how good we are as men. John Knox
God's Word won't do you very much good if you don't believe it. That may be stating the obvious, but consider what the apostle Paul says, that the word of God "performs its work *in you who believe*" (1 Thess. 2:13b, NASB).
As Christ was forty days instructing Moses in Sinai what he should teach, and how he should govern the church under the law: so he continued forty days teaching his disciples what they should preach, and how they should govern the church under the gospel.
—Thomas Brooks
If our sins are mountains, His love shall be like Noah’s flood.
Charles Spurgeon
"Fight against every thought that would represent it as desirable to be permitted to choose for yourself. When you cannot see your way, be satisfied that...He knows your path; He will not leave you to sink." - J.Newton

Everything in your life has prepared you for this very moment. Nothing is wasted…

When the truth is abandoned, the space is filled with conflict, chaos & confusion.
"He that is most with God will be most like to God in holiness."
-Richard Baxter.
Let no day slip over without some comfort received from the mouth of God.
John Knox
None walk so much after the Spirit on other days, as they who are most in the Spirit on the Lord’s day. There are none that walk so close to God all six days, as those that keep closest to God on the seventh day. —Thomas Brooks
“Since it is so likely that children will meet cruel enemies, let them at least have heard of brave knights and heroic courage.” - C.S. Lewis
"Until that glorious gathering shall take place, brothers and sisters, keep on inviting others to the Lamb of God." - Charles Spurgeon
Laughter, ridicule, opposition, and persecution are often the only reward that Christ’s followers get from the world. -
It is the people who are not Christians who are the modern Pharisees. They are the self-contained, self-satisfied men and women of the world who believe in morality and ethics and say that they do not need the new birth and dislike its teaching.
