It would seem that we have designed a modern-day rendition of carrying the Cross that doesn’t give us splinters, revilement, and death. We want the benefits of the Cross but we don’t want to carry it.

Religion may make us look clean, but only Jesus can truly make us clean.

A Good Character is the Best Tombstone – Charles Spurgeon
A good character is the best tombstone. Those who loved you and were helped by you will remember you when forget-me-nots have withered. Carve your name on hearts, not on marble.
– Charles Spurgeon –
Nature of Christ’s Salvation – AW Pink
The nature of Christ’s salvation is woefully misrepresented by the present-day evangelist. He announces a Savior from Hell rather than a Savior from sin. And that is why so many are fatally deceived, for there are multitudes who wish to escape the Lake of fire who have no desire to be delivered from their carnality and worldliness.
– AW Pink –
Because of the Christ-life Inside – CS Lewis
The Christian thinks any good he does comes from the Christ-life inside him. He does not think God will love us because we are good, but that God will make us good because He loves us; just as the roof of a greenhouse does not attract the sun because it is bright, but becomes bright because the sun shines on it.
– CS Lewis –
The Life Wholly Yielded to Him – Andrew Murray
God is ready to assume full responsibility for the life wholly yielded to Him.

Pray to Him earnestly. Read His Word constantly.
Jesus is the Comfort.

I Was Made For Another World – CS Lewis
If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world.

Truth and God Must Be Earnestly Sought – AB Simpson
God has hidden every precious thing in such a way that it is a reward to the diligent, a prize to the earnest, but a disappointment to the slothful soul. All nature is arrayed against the lounger and the idler. The nut is hidden in its thorny case; the pearl is buried beneath the ocean waves; the gold is imprisoned in the rocky bosom of the mountains; the gem is found only after you crush the rock which encloses it; the very soil gives its harvest as a reward to the laboring farmer. So truth and God must be earnestly sought.
