Beware of anything that competes with your loyalty to Jesus Christ. The greatest competitor of true devotion to Jesus is the service we do for Him.

from A Man of God
God will not protect you from anything that will make you more like Jesus.
– Elisabeth Elliot –
When we look at ourselves, at the littleness of our love, the bareness of our service, and the small progress we make towards perfection, how soul-refreshing it is to turn away to Him; to plunge afresh in “the fountain opened for sin and for uncleanness”; to remember that we are “accepted in the beloved” … “who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption.” Oh! the fullness of Christ, the fullness of Christ.
– Hudson Taylor –
We cannot have flowers without roots, or fruit without trees. We cannot have the fruit of the Spirit without vital union with Christ, and a new creation within.

from Expository Thoughts on the Gospels,1856
When we get to the end of our ministry, one of our regrets will be that we did not preach more of Christ.
– Charles Spurgeon –
God owns all; He owns me; He owns my home; He owns my children; He owns my property. I have called your attention before to the fact that the modern idea of ownership is pagan. The Christian idea is this: that God is the absolute owner of all things.
– Clovis G. Chappell –
The Son of God became a man to enable men to become sons of God.
