Doctrine is useless if it is not accompanied by a holy life. It is worse than useless; it does positive harm. Something of “the image of Christ” must be seen and observed by others in our private life, and habits, and character, and doings.

You can’t develop character by reading books. You develop it from conflict.

The moment you come to realize that only God can make a man godly, you are left with no option but to find God, and to know God, and to let God be God in and through you.

The testimony of the lips indicates the state of the heart.
– Harry Ironside –
I would sooner be holy than happy if the two things could be divorced. Were it possible for a man always to sorrow and yet to be pure, I would choose the sorrow if I might win the purity, for to be free from the power of sin, to be made to love holiness, is true happiness.
– Charles Spurgeon –
The seed dies into a new life, and so does man.
– George Macdonald –
Men are God’s method. The church is looking for better methods; God is looking for better men.
– EM Bounds –
It takes more than a busy church, a friendly church, or even an evangelical church to impact a community for Christ. It must be a church ablaze, led by leaders who are ablaze for God.
