Christian Life

Love Without Weakness – Jim Elliot

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

– Jim Elliot –
from his Journals, November 24, 1949

Are You Praising God More and More? – Charles Spurgeon

But Christians, the last word is for you. Are you praising God more and more? If you are not, I am afraid of one thing: that you are probably praising Him less and less. It is a certain truth that if we do not go forward in the Christian life, we go backward. You cannot stand still. There is a drift one way or the other.

– Charles Spurgeon –
from Spurgeon on Praise

God Will Not Let Us Lose Our Longing – Thomas Watson

“They shall be filled.” God never bids us seek Him in vain. “He hath filled the hungry with good things” (Luke 1:53). “He satisfieth the longing soul” (Psalm 107:9). God will not let us lose our longing.

– Thomas Watson –
1620-1686

What Do We Lack? – AW Tozer

With the goodness of God to desire our highest welfare, the wisdom of God to plan it, and the power of God to achieve it, what do we lack? Surely we are the most favored of all creatures.
