– Thomas a’ Kempis –
He became what we are that He might make us what He is.

– Charles Spurgeon –
We are saved to worship God. All that Christ has done in the past and all that He is doing now leads to this one end.
– AW Tozer –
Sin forsaken, is one of the best evidences of sin forgiven.
– JC Ryle –
It costs something to be a true Christian.
It will cost us …
our sins,
our self-righteousness,
our ease and
our worldliness!
