It is one of the ironies of the ministry that the very man who works in God’s name is often hardest put to find time for God. The parents of Jesus lost Him at church, and they were not the last ones to lose Him there.

Centrality of Christ
A mighty longing after God – AW Tozer
I want deliberately to encourage this mighty longing after God. The lack of it has brought us to our present low estate. The stiff and wooden quality about our religious lives is a result of our lack of holy desire. Complacency is a deadly foe of all spiritual growth. Acute desire must be present or there will be no manifestation of Christ to His people. He waits to be wanted. Too bad that with many of us He waits so long, so very long, in vain.

Live with Eternity in View – Robert Murray M’Cheyne
Live near to God, and so all things will appear to you little in comparison with eternal realities.

Jesus is Our Strength and Song – Charles Spurgeon
Let this one great, gracious, glorious fact lie in your spirit until it permeates all your thoughts and makes you rejoice even though you are without strength. Rejoice that the Lord Jesus has become your strength and your song – He has become your salvation.
– Charles Spurgeon –
Jesus is the Victor! – 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.
– Basilea Schlink –
Unfathomable Oceans of Grace – Robert Murray M’Cheyne
Unfathomable oceans of grace are in Christ for you. Dive and dive again, you will never come to the bottom of these depths. How many millions of dazzling pearls and gems are at this moment hid in the deep recesses of the ocean caves.

Is Christ Your Lord? – AW Pink
Thousands are deceived into supposing that they have “accepted Christ” as their “personal Savior”, who have not first received Him as their LORD.

Jesus’ First and Second Coming – Oswald J. Smith
We talk of the Second Coming; half the world has never heard of the first.
– Oswald J. Smith –
It is Time to Seek the Lord – Charles Spurgeon
Every blossoming flower warns you that it is time to seek the Lord; be not out of tune with nature, but let your heart bud and bloom with holy desires.
– Charles Spurgeon –
