Christian Life

True Faith in Jesus – George Whitefield

A true faith in Jesus Christ will not suffer us to be idle. No, it is an active, lively, restless principle; it fills the heart, so that it cannot be easy till it is doing something for Jesus Christ.

–—George Whitefield –

Holiness of Life – Robert Murray M’Cheyne

Study universal holiness of life. Your whole usefulness depends on this, for your sermons last but an hour or two; your life preaches all the week. If Satan can only make a covetous minister a lover of praise, of pleasure, of good eating, he has ruined your ministry. Give yourself to prayer, and get your texts, your thoughts, your words from God. Luther spent his best three hours in prayer.

Love Without Weakness – Jim Elliot

Lord, give me firmness without hardness; steadfastness without dogmatism; love without weakness.
