Where there is grace there will be conflict. The believer is a soldier. There is no holiness without warfare. Saved souls will always be found to have fought a fight. -
“Nothing can be done, not even the vilest and detestable acts ever committed, without his permission.” — Stephen Charnock, Divine Providence, 29.
The watchword of the worthy servant is not mere obedience but love, from which appropriate obedience naturally flows. Hearing God (p. 14).
The Word of God is not foreign to routine reality; it is at the very heart of it. -
Hearing God (p. 16).
Revival is a sovereign work of God's Spirit, producing an unusual awakening of spiritual life among God's people, & accompanied by an awesome awareness of God, a deep hatred of sin, a longing for holiness, a renewed joy in worship, & a passion to reach the unsaved. -

There’s nothing sweeter to the Christian than knowing Jesus is interceding for us.
1. He prays for our protection (Jn 17:15).
2. He prays for our unity (Jn 17:20–23).
3. He prays for grace in time of need (Heb 4:16).
4. He prays for our recovery from sin (1 Jn 2:1).
The NEED for fame, admiration, acceptance, approval, attention, and popularity, are all a sign that you’re really in need of Christ!
Hope itself is like a star-not 2 be seen in the sunshine of prosperity, and only 2 be discovered in the night of adversity -C.H. Spurgeon

As the revival at Asbury University continues, I’m praying that similar works of the Holy Spirit will break out across our land. I’ll be preaching from Romans 1 and calling for obedience to the faith. What’s your text & topic? PRAYING FOR YOU!
