If you think you can walk in holiness without keeping up perpetual fellowship with Christ, you have made a great mistake. If you would be holy, you must live close to Jesus.

Christian Life
God be merciful to me – William Tiptaft
Have you ever stood on the same plot of ground with the publican, crying — God be merciful to me a sinner?
– William Tiptaft –
Do you mourn over or repent of your sin? – Matthew Henry
Many mourn for their sins that do not truly repent of them, weep bitterly for them, and yet continue in love and league with them.
– Matthew Henry –
How do you do the Lord’s work? – Corrie Ten Boom
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.

Just as water ever seeks and fills the lowest place, so the moment God finds you abased and empty, His glory and power flow in.

God one desire for humanity – Oswald Chambers
God has one destined end for mankind—holiness! His one aim is the production of saints. God is not an eternal blessing-machine for men. He did not come to save men out of pity. He came to save men because He had created them to be holy.
– Oswald Chambers –
Fascinated with what world? – AW Tozer

Christ is enough! – AW Tozer
Christ is enough. To have Him and nothing else is to be rich beyond conniving. To have all else and have not Christ is to be a cosmic pauper, cut off forever from all that will matter at last.

from A Man of God
The secret to great living – Amy Carmichael
What is the secret to great living? Entire separation to Christ and devotion to Him. Thus speaks every man and woman whose life has made more than a passing flicker in the spiritual realm. It is the life that has no time for trifling that counts.
