Christian Life

Let us not glide through this world and then slip quietly out of it without having blown the trumpet loud and long for our Blessed Redeemer. At the very least, let us see to it that when the Devil gets news of our departure from the battlefield, he throws a thanksgiving party in hell.

The Word of God is a looking glass, to show us our spots; and the blood of Christ is a fountain to wash them away.

People take salvation today in such a cold, formal, matter-of-fact, business-like sort of way, that it appears as though they are doing God an honor in condescending to receive His offer of Redemption. Their eyes are dry, their sense of sin absent; nor is there any sign of penitence and contrition … But oh, if there were conviction! if they came with hearts bowed down, yea! broken and contrite, came with the cry of the guilt-laden soul: “God be merciful to me a sinner!”—came trembling with the burning life and death question of the Philippian jailor: “What must I do to be saved ?”—what converts they would be!

At any point in all of Eternity, we can say, “This is just the beginning.” How wonderful for those who are with Christ. How unimaginably dreadful for those who are not.

Any manipulation of the Scriptures to make them speak peace to the natural man is evil and can only lead to ruin.

The coming revival must begin with a great revival of prayer. It is in the closet, with the door shut, that the sound of abundance of rain will first be heard.

It is easier to speak about revival than to set about it.

Trying to do the Lord’s work in your own strength is the most confusing, exhausting, and tedious of all work. But when you are filled with the Holy Spirit, then the ministry of Jesus just flows out of you.

Let us be ever careful that we not pursue the Cross-centered life without returning frequently to the Cross itself.
