The Well-Defined Spiritual Life – Henry Drummond
The well-defined spiritual life is not only the highest life, but it is also the most easily lived. The whole cross is more easily carried than the half.

The One Secret of a Holy Life – Oswald Chambers
The one marvelous secret of a holy life lies not in imitating Jesus, but in letting the perfections of Jesus manifest themselves in my mortal flesh. Sanctification is “Christ in you.”… Sanctification is not drawing from Jesus the power to be holy; it is drawing from Jesus the holiness that was manifested in Him, and He manifests it in me.
– Oswald Chambers –
