Let nothing disturb you. Let nothing frighten you. All things pass away. God is unchangeable. Patience gains everything. He who clings to God wants nothing. God alone is sufficient.

Christian Life
Salvation leads to this – AW Tozer
We are saved to worship God. All that Christ has done in the past and all that He is doing now leads to this one end.

God uses broken things – Vance Havner
God uses broken things. It takes broken soil to produce a crop, broken clouds to give rain, broken grain to give bread, broken bread to give strength. It is the broken alabaster box that gives forth perfume . . . it is Peter, weeping bitterly, who returns to greater power than ever.

The cost of being a true Christian – JC Ryle
It costs something to be a true Christian.
It will cost us …
our sins,
our self-righteousness,
our ease and
our worldliness!
– JC Ryle –
Called unto holiness – John Calvin
The whole lives of Christians ought to be a kind of aspiration after piety, seeing they are called unto holiness.
– John Calvin –
Known by your fruit – JC Ryle
A tree may always be known by its fruit. Just so, a true Christian may always be discovered by their habits, tastes, and affections.
– JC Ryle –
Prayer is the remedy – JC Ryle
Prayer is the surest remedy against the devil and besetting sins. That sin will never stand firm which is heartily prayed against. That devil will never long keep dominion over us which we beseech the Lord to cast forth. But then we must spread out all our case before our heavenly Physician, if he is to give us daily relief.
– JC Ryle –
from A Call to Prayer
The holier you become – Charles Spurgeon
I believe the holier a man becomes, the more he mourns over the unholiness which remains in him.
– Charles Spurgeon –
Evidence of a holy life – JC Ryle
People may refuse to see the truth of our arguments, but they cannot evade the evidence of a holy life.
