Why do we expect to be better treated in this world than Jesus was?

Christian Life
Straddling Truth and Sin? – Oswald Chambers
It is perilously easy to have amazing sympathy with God’s truth and remain in sin.
– Oswald Chambers –
Purified Mind and Life – Smith Wigglesworth
God wants to purify our minds until we can bear all things, believe all things, hope all things and endure all things. God dwells in you, but you cannot have this divine power until you live and walk in the Holy Ghost, until the power of the new life is greater than the old life.
– Smith Wigglesworth –
Sin and the Child of God – John R. W. Stott
Sin and the child of God are incompatible. They may occasionally meet; they cannot live together in harmony.
– John R. W. Stott –
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.

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.
