The salvation of Christ is a salvation from the smallest tendency or leaning to sin. It is deliverance into the pure air of God’s ways of thinking and feeling. It is a salvation that makes the heart pure with the will and the choice of the heart to be pure. To such a heart, sin is disgusting.
– George MacDonald –
Every man is as holy as he really wants to be.
– AW Tozer –
As we grow in holiness, we grow in hatred of sin; and God, being infinitely holy, has an infinite hatred of sin.

Discipleship is at the same time a character revolution and a worldwide strategy. It is a strategy that requires depth as a perquisite for reproduction and multiplication.

Affliction of the godly is like bruising spices, which are most sweet and fragrant. Affliction of the wicked is like pounding weeds, which makes them more unsavory.
– Thomas Watson –
Revival will come only to a desperate church, not a contented one. He is ever the rewarder of those who “diligently seek Him,” not the mere casual inquirer.
– Al Whittinghill –
If the man does not live differently from what he did before, both at home and abroad, his repentance needs to be repented of, and his conversion is a fiction.
– Charles Spurgeon –
We are settling for a Christianity that revolves around catering to ourselves when the central message of Christianity is actually about abandoning ourselves.
– David Platt –
Let me die rather than live to sin against thee!
– Francis Asbury –
