"The law is good; the Gospel is glorious." —Alistair Begg
"Do not neglect your Bible. Ask God to work in you as you open it up to revive your soul, to make you wise, to bring you joy, and to light your path." —Alistair Begg
"If a local church is not instructed regularly, faithfully, in the truth, then they will be susceptible to individuals who will arise to draw away little groups after them and so ravish the church which Christ has bought with His own blood." —Alistair Begg
Jesus Christ loves to see poor sinners coming to Him, He is pleased to see them lie at His feet pleading His promises; and if you thus come to Christ, He will not send you away without His Spirit; no, but will receive and bless you. George Whitefield I say salvation is the free gift of God. It is God’s free grace, I preach unto you, not of works, lest anyone should boast. Jesus Christ justifies the ungodly. Jesus Christ passed by and saw you polluted with your blood and bid you live. George Whitefield The sinner can no more raise himself from the deadness of sin than Lazarus, who had been dead four days until Jesus came. George Whitefield
"The Lord will either give us what we ask or do some better thing for us." - Charles Spurgeon
There is no acquaintance with God, as love, full of kindness, patience, grace, and pardoning mercy (on which knowledge of him alone we can walk with him), but only in Christ. —
John Owen, Works 2:109
NEVER WORRY ABOUT UNDERHANDED PEOPLE. THEIR CONSEQUENCES SLAP THEM IN THE FACE FIRST...AND HARDEST! BEFORE GOD PROMOTES YOU PUBLICLY, HE PREPARES YOU PRIVATELY. RESPECT THE PROCESS."
"JUST BECAUSE THE PAST TAPS YOU ON THE SHOULDER, DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO TURN AROUND...IT SIMPLY MEANS YOU HAVEN'T DISTANCED YOURSELF FAR ENOUGH."
NEVER BE AFRAID TO TRY SOMETHING NEW AND DIFFERENT! LIFE GETS PRETTY BORING WHEN YOU STAY WITHIN THE SAME OLD LIMITS, NORMS, COMFORT ZONES, AND STATUS QUO."
"CHANGING CHURCHES ONLY RELOCATES CHARACTER FLAWS. STAYING PLANTED UNDER CORRECTION, PRODUCES STRONG ROOTS, GROWTH, DEVELOPMENT, AND HARVEST."
"BELIEVERS WAITING FOR SINNERS TO VISIT THE CHURCH IS LIKE THE POLICE WAITING FOR CRIMINALS TO VISIT THE STATION." "NEVER TRUST ANYONE THAT TELLS YOU OTHER PEOPLE'S BUSINESS WHEN THEY GET MAD AT THEM! IF THEY GOSSIP ABOUT YOU, THEY WILL GOSSIP ABOUT YOU. JUST THINK, YOU COULD BE ONE ARGUMENT AWAY FROM THEM PUBLICIZING YOUR BUSINESS LIKE THE DAILY NEWS!" "DON'T UNDERESTIMATE WHAT GOD IS DOING IN YOUR SEASON OF WAITING. IF FARMERS CAN PATIENTLY WAIT ON FRUITS AND VEGETABLES, SURELY YOU CAN WAIT FOR GOD'S TIMELY DUE SEASON BLESSINGS." "TODAY I’M ON A MISSION TO BE BETTER THAN I WAS YESTERDAY. I’LL BE ON THAT SAME MISSION TOMORROW. WHEN YOU ARE YOUR ONLY COMPETITION, YOU WIN EVERY TIME." WHEN PURSUING PURPOSE, BEWARE OF DISTRACTIONS! PROVERBS 4:23-27 "...KEEP YOUR EYES STRAIGHT AHEAD; IGNORE ALL SIDESHOW DISTRACTIONS. WATCH YOUR STEP, AND THE ROAD WILL STRETCH OUT SMOOTH BEFORE YOU. LOOK NEITHER RIGHT NOR LEFT; LEAVE EVIL IN THE DUST." (MSG) STAY FOCUSED!
