You must die in order to live. You must refuse to consult your own ease and well-being. You must be crucified, not only in desires and habits which are sinful, but in many more which appear innocent and right.

Adversity is not simply a tool. It is God’s most effective tool for the advancement of our spiritual lives. The circumstances and events that we see as setbacks are oftentimes the very things that launch us into periods of intense spiritual growth. Once we begin to understand this, and accept it as a spiritual fact of life, adversity becomes easier to bear.
– Charles Stanley –
Without the Spirit of God, we can do nothing. We are as ships without wind. We are useless.
– Charles Spurgeon –
Religion can reform a person’s life, but it can never transform him. Only the Holy Spirit can transform!
