A life devoted to prayer and intercession changes your focus and perspective in everything in and outside your life, it becomes more about Jesus and carrying his heart. It's a life of dying to self daily and denying yourself any kind of pleasure.
"As the God of seasons, Jehovah deserves our thanksgiving." -
Charles Spurgeon
“When a Man stops believing in God he doesn’t then believe in nothing, he believes anything” — G. K. Chesterton
"The most prepared are the most dedicated."-Raymond Berry
The Rapture is an equally great mystery revealed to Paul by God alone. The Rapture implies that there will come a time when God will bring His children home in the blink of an eye.
I feel as though there needs to be a sense of urgency when it comes to sharing the gospel right now. There are many who are saying "come, Lord, come!", and yes, that will be wonderful, once all who can be saved, are saved. We must not become complacent, God loves them all.
“What a marvelous outline!” is not the highest compliment a preacher can receive. Far better for us to hear, “You showed us the Lord today, and he met our needs.” -
Warren W. Wiersbe
“God is so infinitely high and lofty, so inhabits eternity in his own eternal being, that it is an act of mere grace in Him to take notice of things infinitely below Him.” —
John Owen, The Glory of Christ.
“What divides us is not science, we are both committed to science, but our worldviews. No one wants to base their life on a delusion, but which is a delusion? Christianity or atheism?” —
John Lennox
I will press forward. Let him that is athirst come. Whoever will let him take of the water of life freely? Even so Lord Jesus. Amen. - William Wilberforce
Loose, vague, misty, broad Christianity may avoid offense and please people in health and prosperity, but it will not convert souls, or supply solid comfort in their hour of sorrow or sickness, or on their deathbeds.
History in fragments denies God, but history as a whole is seen to be His story.
-A.W. Pink
You are not only responsible for what you say, but also for what you do not say
Martin Luther
Your devotional life says more about your ministry than your gifting, charisma, or credentials.
All who call on God in true faith, earnestly from the heart, will certainly be heard and will receive what they have asked and desired. Martin Luther
“Remember that Jesus is our substitute. He succeeded in resisting temptation where we fail.” — Eric Schumacher
People of the world do not judge Christianity in terms of its teaching, but by what they find in you & in me. They are wrong, of course, but that is what they do, and, in a sense, they are right, for we should always be exemplifying the truth. —
Martyn Lloyd-Jones, Romans 14:207
"[God] has in mind a picture of what He intends to create. He breaks, cracks, chisels, and polishes until one day there emerges His vision ... God has not yet finished with us."
You cannot keep birds from flying over your head but you can keep them from building a nest in your hair. Martin Luther
You need to work on your vocabulary and communication skills if you need to use profanity to make a point.
It's okay to ask God questions. It's not okay to question God. Those are not the same things.
The lower the tree roots in the earth, the firmer it is; so the more the soul is rooted in humility, the more established it is and is in less danger of falling away.
“The Father gives a commission to Christ, the Spirit furnishes and sanctifies it, and Christ himself executes the office of a Mediator. Our redemption is founded upon the joint agreement of all three persons of the Trinity.” — Richard Sibbes
"Resolved, to endeavor to obtain for myself as much happiness, in the other world, as I might possibly can, with all the power, might, vigor, and vehemence, yea violence, I am capable of, or can bring myself to exert, in any way that can be thought of." —Jonathan Edwards
It is neither right nor safe to go against my conscience. Martin Luther
Oh! one hour with God infinitely exceeds all the pleasures and delights of this lower world! ⏤ David Brainerd
“Christ’s atonement and resurrection didn’t just make salvation possible. It made salvation actual. Jesus Saves.”
Lot Lingered. Do Not Be A Lingering Soul! By J.C. Ryle Would you know what the times demand?—The shaking of nations,—the uprooting of ancient things,—the overturning of kingdoms, what do they say? They all cry aloud,—Christian! do not linger!
