Run the Race and Don’t Be Lazy – Basilea Schlink
Do not be lazy. Run each day’s race with all your might, so that at the end you will receive the victory wreath from God. Keep on running even when you have had a fall. The victory wreath is won by him who does not stay down, but always gets up again, grasps the banner of faith and keeps on running in the assurance that Jesus is Victor.

Take Our Stand at the Cross – AT Pierson
We take our stand at the cross and consent to be nailed to it, voluntarily, actually; to submit to the pain whereby the flesh dies; the hands are pierced that carnal work may no longer be done in the energy of the flesh; the feet are pierced that no longer we may walk according to the flesh; the brow is pierced with the thorn crown that our head may not any longer be held up for human diadems and fading laurel wreaths …

Self-Pity – Corrie ten Boom
Self-pity is a nasty sin, and the devil uses it and always starts his talks with “poor Corrie!”
– Corrie ten Boom –
Christ Saves People From Their Sins – Charles Spurgeon
The grace that does not make a man better than others is a worthless counterfeit. Christ saves His people, not IN their sins, but FROM their sins. Without holiness, no man shall see the Lord.
– Charles Spurgeon –
Temptations Transformed From Lions to Honey – John Bunyan
Temptations, when we meet them at first, are as the lion that reared upon Samson; but if we overcome them, the next time we see them we shall find a nest of honey within them.
