If we would ripen in grace, we must love [to be] near Jesus – in His presence.

Centrality of Christ
January 1, 2015
Let us be ever careful that we not pursue the Cross-centered life without returning frequently to the Cross itself.

What is Christianity all about? It is about an intimate relationship with God. And I HATE a christendom, a churchianity that God is not big enough and glorious enough so that we have to give them other things.

I was thinking, the other day, how different Christ is from all the friends and helpers that we have. They bring us good things, but Jesus gives us Himself. He does not merely give us wisdom, righteousness, sanctification and redemption, but He Himself is made of God all these things to us! Hence we can never do without Him. When very ill, you are pleased to see the doctor, but when you are getting well you say to yourself, “I shall be glad to see the back of the good man, for that will be a sure sign that I am off the sick list.” Ah, but when Jesus heals a soul, he wants to see Jesus more than ever! Our longing for the constant company of our Lord is the sign that we are getting well! He who longs for Jesus to abide with Him, forever, is healed of his plague! We never outgrow Christ—we only grow to hunger more and more!

A whole new generation of Christians has come up believing that it is possible to ‘accept’ Christ without forsaking the world.

The sweetest part … is the rest which full identification with Christ brings.

There is a common worldly kind of Christianity in this day, which many have, and think they have enough. This cheap Christianity … offends nobody, requires no sacrifice, costs nothing, and is worth nothing!

Most Christians don’t hear God’s voice because we’ve already decided we aren’t going to do what He says.
