The Name They Go By – Charles Spurgeon
A boy in the streets, selling mince-pies, kept crying, “Hot mince-pies!” A person bought one of them, and found it quite cold. ”Boy,” said he, ”why do you call these pies hot?” “Thats the name they go by, sir,” said the boy. So there are plenty of people who are called Christians, but they are not Christians—thats the name they go by; but all the substance is drained out of them by other matters.

Make Progress With God – Smith Wigglesworth
You must every day make higher ground. You must deny yourself to make progress with God. You must refuse everything that is not pure and holy. God wants you pure in heart. He wants you to have an intense desire after holiness … Two things will get you to leap out of yourselves into the promises of God today. One is purity, and the other is FAITH, which is kindled more and more BY PURITY.
