If Jesus preached the same message some ministers preach today, he would have never been crucified. -Leonard Ravenhill
Whole days and weeks have I spent prostrate on the ground in silent or vocal prayer. -
George Whitefield
If souls are not won, if saints are not matured, our ministry itself is vain -
Horatius Bonar
One cannot complain that the “gate is narrow” who stands amazed that the gate is 𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘯.
Unholiness ought not to stop a sinner from coming to Christ, more than a disease ought to hinder a man to take the physician’s help. —Thomas Boston, Works 2:14
The real belief of the pardon of sin is prevalent with men not living longer in sin. Let not such persons deceive their own souls; to live in sin and yet to believe the forgiveness of sin [has been obtained] is utterly impossible. —Puritan John Owen, Works 6:513
I don’t know who has spoken words over you and about you that have broken your heart. But I know a statement that comes against truth must be called a lie. God’s Word is the Truth. And His Truth says you are a dearly loved child of your heavenly Father. Special. Full of purpose. BE CAREFUL, SOMETIMES THE PERSON YOU WOULD TAKE A BULLET FOR IS THE PERSON BEHIND THE TRIGGER! A PRAYING COUPLE IS THE REAL POWER COUPLE. IF IT DOESN'T EVOLVE YOU...DON'T LET IT INVOLVE YOU! “GOD DIDN'T MEET YOUR EXPECTATIONS BECAUSE HE PLANS TO EXCEED THEM!” STOP TRYING TO SQUEEZE INTO PLACES YOU DON'T FIT ANY LONGER! IF YOU CAN MAKE ADJUSTMENTS TO YOUR CLOTHES BECAUSE OF WEIGHT CHANGE, LEARN TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS TO YOUR CIRCLE BECAUSE OF THE WEIGHT OF YOUR ANOINTING. “THIS IS YOUR YEAR OF W.O.W! WIDE OPEN WINDOWS!” (MALACHI 3:10) RECEIVE IT BY FAITH AND OBEDIENCE!" BEFORE THIS MONTH IS OUT, YOUR BIGGEST CRITICS WILL TRY TO BUILD WHAT YOU'VE BUILT WITH BLUEPRINTS THE HOLY GHOST ONLY GAVE TO YOU! FORGERY ALWAYS LEADS TO FAILURE! "GOD IS ANSWERING YOUR PRAYER! HE'S ABOUT TO DO GREAT THINGS FOR YOU THAT EXCEED WHAT YOU ASKED FOR BEFORE YOU EVEN ASKED! (JEREMIAH 33:3)!" YOU CAN'T FLOURISH IN THE SAME ENVIRONMENT YOU’VE OUTGROWN.
We must remind ourselves that God loves us, not because we are lovable, but because we are in Christ, and the love which the Father has for His Son flows over to us because we are in Him." -Jerry Bridges.
"Application is the life of divine meditation." -John Ball.
Obedience is as divine as Will. Service as divine as Rule. How? Because they are one in their nature: they are both a doing of the truth.
Somehow we’ve gotten the idea that the essence of faith is entirely a mental and inward thing. The Spirit of the Disciplines
What are the differences between worldly joys and spiritual ones? The gleanings of one are better than the vintage of the other. - Thomas Watson
We are perfect in faith when we can come to God, in the utter dearth of our feelings, and our desires, without a glow or an aspiration: with the weight of failures, neglects, and wandering forgetfulness, and say to Him, “Thou art my refuge because Thou art my home.”
