"Preach Christ, always and evermore. He is the whole gospel." —
Charles Spurgeon
May we fix our eyes on the eternal Joy purchased for us on the cross. No matter our difficulties, they are overshadowed by the anticipation of what awaits us. “The sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that will be revealed in us” (Rom. 8:18).
Randy Alcorn
Look not to yourselves. You are by nature wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked. Look simply unto Jesus.
It is the temper and disposition of a truly godly man to delight in exalting God.
Jonathan Edwards
I see a rising generation of strong young Christians.
I see many young men who love sound doctrine.
I see younger believers who love Christ tenaciously.
I see faith, hope, love, conviction, and holiness.
I see evil on every side--but I see God doing a new work.
Owen Strachan
My dear friend, I am a poor sinner still, and I have to look to Christ every day as I did at the very first.
Charles Spurgeon
God declared before the foundation of the world His great love for the race of mankind. —

Forms of pride: 1. Self-appreciation: "Look at me!" 2. Self-sufficiency: "I can do it!" 3. Self-glorification: "Don't I look great?" 4. Self-attention: "Listen to me!" 5. Self-validation: "I am right!" 6. Self-seeking: "Give me mine!" 7. Self-adoration: "Praise me!"
Justin Joiner
Jesus calls. Jesus commissions. Jesus sends. The church belongs to him.
The song of saints in heaven is not “Worthy am I,” but “Worthy is the Lamb!”

Pastor, you may not feel like preaching tomorrow, but your power in the pulpit isn’t based on your feelings, abilities, or even talents, but on the power of the Holy Spirit. Depend on Him and sleep well tonight.

The gospel isn’t a catchphrase for motivated better living, but a message for lost and dying sinners that God extends grace through the blood and resurrection of His beloved Son to forgive sin and grant us eternal life by the power and promise of the Holy Spirit.

Once you are saved, you don't move beyond the gospel. The gospel is essential in every moment of the Christian life
When we sin––we need the gospel.
When we stray––we need the gospel.
When we doubt––we need the gospel.
Every day, we are desperate for the gospel.
Justin Joiner
Not one of God’s methods has ever failed nor will they. His ways are tried, true, and trusted!

Dogs do not usually bark at those who live in the same neighborhood as them, but only at strangers. When obscene tongues are lifted up against us, we have reason to hope that we are strangers and foreigners to the citizens of this world. —

Unless God is our Father, we are orphans. —

Holy habits develop a Holy heart!!
Conditional love stinks, and it sucks the life out of us and others. People punish us whenever they serve their love with a side of expectation. And we punish others whenever we serve our love with a side of contingency plan.
Unconditional, perfect love is rare because of the enormous amount of self-assessment and self-denial it requires. To love others as God loves us demands daily, sometimes hourly, self-examination of motive and intent, a constant self-check that we have not stumbled back into our security snares.
Acceptance, vulnerability, trust, no expectations, no games. This is what we want from people — to feel safe with our love and honesty. To confess our worst-case scenario without being rejected.
Human relationships are designed to disappoint us. They are a setup by God to lead us right where He wants us: to the end of ourselves and others.
