Sin and the child of God are incompatible. They may occasionally meet; they cannot live together in harmony.

Christian Life
God Asks You To Do Something You Aren’t Able To Do – Henry Blackaby
Will God ever ask you to do something you are not able to do? The answer is yes–all the time! It must be that way, for God’s glory and kingdom. If we function according to our ability alone, we get the glory; if we function according to the power of the Spirit within us, God gets the glory. He wants to reveal Himself to a watching world.
– Henry Blackaby –
Don’t Take It Easy – Vance Havner
Taking it easy is often the prelude to backsliding. Comfort precedes collapse.
– Vance Havner –
Two Kinds of People – Leonard Ravenhill
There are only two kinds of persons: those dead in sin and those dead to sin.
– Leonard Ravenhill –
Filled with the Holy Spirit – Leonard Ravenhill
If I am filled with the Holy Spirit the same things that grieve the Holy Spirit will grieve my spirit.
– Leonard Ravenhill –
A Test of Christian Character – Lester Roloff
A test of a Christian’s character is what he does after he comes to the blockade in the road and what his attitude is after everything has left him except Jesus. You will never know down here that Christ is all you need until Christ is all you have left. You will never be able to tell the world for sure that He will do in a crisis unless you learn how to live in a crisis.
– Lester Roloff –
With Eternity in View – John Wesley
I desire to have both heaven and hell ever in my eye, while I stand on this isthmus of life, between two boundless oceans.
– John Wesley –
Friendship with God Demands Obedience – Clovis Chappell
Whenever you make up your mind to refuse to go where God wants you to go and to do what God wants you to do, you must make up your mind at the same time to renounce the friendship of God. You cannot walk with Him and at the same time be in rebellion against Him … it is mere mockery, to say “Lord, Lord” and then refuse to do the things that He commands you to do.
– Clovis G. Chappell –
A Changed Mind and Heart – Watchman Nee
Because it has been so united with the devil it is vital for man to receive from God a change of mind before he can receive a new heart.
