“Now is our chance to choose the right side. God is holding back to give us that chance. It won’t last forever. We must take it or leave it.” - C.S. Lewis
If we are to see the church of God really restored to her pristine glory, we must have back this plain, simple, gospel preaching. Charles H. Spurgeon
If I had never joined a church till I had found one that was perfect, I should never have joined one at all. And the moment I did join it, if I had found one, I should have spoiled it, for it would not have been a perfect church after I had become a member of it
Charles Spurgeon
Oh, to be bathed in a text of Scripture, and to let it be sucked up into your very soul, till it saturates your heart!
Charles Spurgeon
The Gospel comes face to face with the pagan world.
This law is still in force towards sinners, even as it was on the day wherein it was given on Mount Sinai. —John Owen, Works 6:364
We too quickly write people off, in contrast to the Good Shepherd, who does not break off a bruised reed or quench a faintly burning candle.” — Michael Horton, Ordinary, 31.
Untold thousands of humble Christians whose names will never appear in print—who will never preach a sermon or teach a class—can testify equally well to the same kinds of encounters with God as are manifested by the great ones in the Way.
Hearing God (pp. 27-28)
Is your heart divided or torn? Are you fervently following after Jesus, or things of the world? Is He truly the Lord and Master of your life? If He isn’t, ask for help. Ask God to give you a single-hearted devotion to Him.
Chuck Smith
The biblical record always presents the relationship between God and the believer as more like a friendship or family tie than merely one person’s arranging to take care of the needs of another.

— Stephen Charnock, Divine Providence, 44.
SEE THIS MOVIE! I can’t ignore the timing of this with current events. “Don’t be so arrogant to think that God can’t work through your failures.” “Fortunately God has a long history of using flawed people.”
Sometimes our stories will take the most unexpected twists and turns through the darkest valleys we’ve ever known. But we can trust that God’s plan is still good. He has a perfect plan for a path to renewed joy and a redeemed future that’s probably one we can’t even fathom.
“You and I do not get to determine what a MOVE OF GOD will look like. But when He is moving let’s honor it.” - Alex Kendrick
Ignorance of Scripture is the root of every error in religion, and the source of every heresy.
“It is easier to alienate than to teach with humility and love.”
— Michael Horton, Ordinary, 31
"Expositional preaching is empowered preaching that rightfully submits the shape & emphasis of the sermon to the shape and emphasis of a biblical text. In that way it brings out of the text what the Holy Spirit put there!" - David Helms
The soul's proper food is found in one book, the Bible.
“No man who merely skims the book of God can profit. Thereby we must dig and mine until we obtain the hid treasure. The door of the word only opens to the key of diligence.”
—Charles Spurgeon
