To know Jesus is the shortest description of true grace; to know him better is the surest mark of growth in grace; to know him perfectly is eternal life.

A state of mind that sees God in everything is evidence of growth in grace and a thankful heart.

I owe everything to the gift of Pentecost. For fifty days the facts of the Gospel were complete, but no conversions were recorded. Pentecost registered three thousand souls. It is by fire that a holy passion is kindled in the soul whereby we live the life of God. The soul’s safety is in its heat. Truth without enthusiasm, morality without emotion, ritual without soul, make for a Church without power.
– Samuel Chadwick –
If thou shalt hate the things that thou didst once love, and love the things that thou didst once hate; if thou hast really repented; if there be a thorough change of mind in thee; if thou be born again, then hast thou reason to rejoice: but if there be no vital change, no inward godliness; if there be no love to God, no prayer, no work of the Holy Spirit, then thy saying “I am saved” is but thine own assertion, and it may delude, but it will not deliver thee.
– Charles Spurgeon –
The devil doesn’t mind how many sermons we preach or prepare if it will keep us from preparing ourselves.
– Vance Havner –
Worship should be costly, not convenient. Cost determines worth. So worship with no cost is worship with no worth. If Christ is truly worthy, then what price are you willing to pay to bring Him the glory due His name?
– Rick Pino –
Where there have been mighty deeds, there need be no multitude of words to tell of them. Many words are required only where the deeds have been too feeble to speak for themselves.

O, let the place of secret prayer become to me the most beloved spot on earth.

(Peace is) not a feeling. It’s not an emotion. It’s not a “pill” that God gives us. …When we ask God for peace … He gives us Himself, for He is our peace (Ephesians 2:14).
