A young university girl said to a Christian worker in England, “I would give the world if I had the Christian testimony you have.” The dear sweet old lady said, “My dear, that’s exactly what it cost me, the world.” Christ demands all.

The Difference Between the Weakest and Strongest Christian – Thomas Brooks
The weakest Christian is as much justified, as much pardoned, as much adopted, and as much united to Christ as the strongest, and hath as much interest and propriety in Christ as the highest and noblest Christian that breathes.

The Memory of Christ’s Suffering – Thomas Watson
If the manna was to be kept in the ark, that the memory of it should be preserved, how should the death and suffering of Christ be kept in our minds as a memorial?

from The Lords Supper, 1665
Why the Church Stays Indoors – Samuel Chadwick
Why does the Church stay indoors? They have a theology that has dwindled into a philosophy, in which there is no thrill of faith, no terror of doom, and no concern for souls. Unbelief has put out the fires of passion, and worldliness garlands the altar of sacrifice with the tawdry glitter of unreality.

A Crucified Lord must have a Crucified Bride.

A Real Salvation – Samuel Brengle
It is no little salvation that Jesus Christ came to work out for us. It is a “great salvation,” and it saves. Hallelujah! It is not a pretense. It is not a make-believe.” It is a real salvation from all sin and uncleanness; from all doubt and fear; from all guile and hypocrisy; from all malice and wrath. Bless God!
– Samuel Brengle –
Empty vs Spirit-Filled Christian – John T. Hatfield
An empty Christian talks out of his head, but a Spirit-filled Christian talks out of his heart. The Holy Spirit does not live in our brains but in our heart. A head religion will talk anything, but a heart religion talks Jesus and the Holy Spirit.

The Purpose of the Holy Spirit – GW North
