When we go to God by prayer, the devil knows we go to fetch strength against him, and therefore opposeth us all he can.

The Price Will Not Come Down – Samuel Rutherford
There are some who would have Christ cheap. They would have Him without the Cross. But the price will not come down.

Unless you Are A Man Of Prayer – EM Bounds
No man can do a great and enduring work for God who is not a man of prayer, and no man can be a man of prayer who does not give much time to praying.

Put Your Ear Down To The Bible – William Booth
‘Not called!’ did you say? ‘Not heard the call,’ I think you should say. Put your ear down to the Bible, and hear Him bid you go and pull sinners out of the fire of sin. Put your ear down to the burdened, agonized heart of humanity, and listen to its pitiful wail for help. Go stand by the gates of hell, and hear the damned entreat you to go to their father’s house and bid their brothers and sisters and servants and masters not to come there. Then look Christ in the face — whose mercy you have professed to obey — and tell Him whether you will join heart and soul and body and circumstances in the march to publish His mercy to the world.

The Glorious Truth Proclaimed Throughout Scripture – Alan Redpath
The immense step from the Babe at Bethlehem to the living, reigning triumphant Lord Jesus, returning to earth for His own people – that is the glorious truth proclaimed throughout Scripture. As the bells ring out the joys of Christmas, may we also be alert for the final trumpet that will announce His return, when we shall always be with Him.

If You Disbelieve Hell – JC Ryle
Disbelieve Hell, and you unscrew, unsettle, and unpin everything in Scripture!

Turn to God from idols – Paris Reidhead
Turn to God from idols. For the sword of His wrath that had been aimed at you has been sheathed into the heart of His Son. And the arrows of His anger that had been put against your breast were loosed into the Lord Jesus Christ. Because He has died for you, you were forgiven.

Our Business is to Please God – Brother Lawrence
Let us think often that our only business in this life is to please God. Perhaps all besides is but folly and vanity.

Let no one go to hell without … – Charles Spurgeon
If sinners be dammed, at least let them leap to Hell over our bodies. If they will perish, let them perish with our arms about their knees. Let no one go there unwarned and unprayed for.
– Charles Spurgeon –
