When you come to your deathbed, you will want something more than an example and a sacrament. Take heed that you are found resting all your weight on Christ’s substitution for you on the cross, and His atoning blood, or it will be better if you had never been born.

Go straight for souls and go for the worst.
– William Booth –
It is the greatest of all mistakes to do nothing because you can only do little – do what you can
– Sydney Smith –
Spiritual desires belong to a soul made alive to God. As the renewed soul hungers and thirst after righteousness, these holy, inward desires break out into earnest, petition prayer

Adversity doesn’t build character; it reveals it.

It is not great talents nor great learning nor great preachers that God needs, but men great in holiness, great in faith, great in love, great in fidelity, great for God – men always preaching by holy sermons in the pulpit, by holy lives out of it. These can mold a generation for God.

Christianity is not a mere correction of some activities in our lives. It is completely beyond a token attendance to a different organization. There is a ‘signing up’ taking place. It is a change in location from one group to another group. ‘Jesus’ is our new location. We change our focus to Him. What motivates us is now Him. Jesus is the all-encompassing driving force of our lives.
– Stephen Manley –
A holy minister is an awful weapon in the hand of God. A word spoken by you when your conscience is clear, and your heart full of God’s Spirit, is worth ten thousand words spoken in unbelief and sin
– Robert Murray M’Cheyne –
Beware of the people who tell you life is simple. Life is such a mass of complications that no man is safe apart from God. Coming to Jesus does not simplify life; it simplifies my relationship to God.
