The fact that I’m a woman doesn’t make me a different kind of Christian, but the fact that I’m a Christian does make me a different kind of woman.

Christian Life
Imitating Christ – Francis Chan
It’s impossible to be a disciple or a follower of someone and not end up like that person. Jesus said, “A disciple is not above his teacher, but everyone when he is fully trained will be like his teacher” (Luke 6:40). That’s the whole point of being a disciple of Jesus: we imitate Him, carry on His ministry, and become like Him in the process.

A Baptism of Pure Love – Samuel Logan Brengle
Do you want to know what holiness is? It is pure love. Do you want to know what the baptism of the Holy Spirit is? It is not a mere sentiment. It is not a happy sensation that passes away in a night. It is a baptism of love that brings every thought into captivity to the Lord Jesus (see 2 Cor. 10:5); casts out all fear (see 1 John 4:18); burns up doubt and unbelief as fire burns flax; makes you ‘meek and lowly in heart’ (Matt. 11:29); makes you hate uncleanness, lying and deceit, a flattering tongue, and every evil way with a perfect hatred; makes heaven and hell eternal realities; makes you patient and gentle with the disobedient and sinful; makes you ‘pure … peaceable … open to reason, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere’ (James 3:17), and brings you into perfect and unbroken sympathy with the Lord Jesus Christ in His toil and travail to bring a lost and rebellious world back to God.

Living the Impossible Life – Bill Bright
The Christian life isn’t difficult, it’s impossible—without the power of the Holy Spirit.

Chief Dangers – William Booth
I consider that the chief dangers which confront the coming century will be religion without the Holy Ghost, Christianity without Christ, forgiveness without repentance, salvation without regeneration, politics without God, and heaven without hell.

Definition or Demonstration – Leonard Ravenhill
The world out there is not waiting for a new definition of Christianity; it’s waiting for a new demonstration of Christianity.

Divorce your sin – Charles Spurgeon
There must be a divorce between you and sin, or there can be no marriage between you and Christ.
– Charles Spurgeon –
Mandatory Holiness – Elisabeth Elliot
Holiness has never been the driving force of the majority. It is, however, mandatory for anyone who wants to enter the kingdom.

Shake the World – John Wesley
Give me a hundred men who fear nothing but God, and who hate nothing but sin, and who know nothing but Jesus Christ and Him crucified, and I will shake the world.
