Beside the Shepherd – AW Tozer
The only safe place for sheep is by the side of the shepherd, because the devil does not fear sheep; he just fears the shepherd.

Grace for good works – Augustine
For grace is given not because we have done good works, but in order that we may be able to do them.

The riddle of the Christian life – Charles Spurgeon
The Christian’s life is a matchless riddle. No worldling can understand it. Dead, yet alive! Crucified with Christ, and yet at the same time Risen with Christ in newness of life! Union with the suffering, bleeding Saviour, and death to the world and sin, are soul-cheering things. O for more enjoyment of them.
– Charles Spurgeon –
Desperate for the Kingdom – James Denney
The Kingdom of Heaven is not for the well-meaning: it is for the desperate.

Giving God control of our money – Adrian Rogers
You can sing all you want about how you love Jesus, you can have crocodile tears in your eyes, but the consecration that doesn’t reach your purse has not reached your heart.

Never quit your hold of the fullness of God – William Bramwell
Pray, O pray, my brother! never, never quit your hold of the fullness of God; for time is nearly over, and if this fullness be lost it will be lost forever. I am astonished that we do not pray more, yea, that we do not live every moment as on the brink of the eternal world, and in the blessed expectation of that glorious country.
– William Bramwell –
Focus on God’s smile – Catherine Booth
Never mind man’s frown if God smiles.
– Catherine Booth –
People of prayer – Thomas Coke
A real minister of the gospel is a man of prayer. Prayer is his grand employment, his safety, his first and perpetual duty; and under grace, the grand source of his consolation. Our instructions will be always barren, if they be not watered with our tears and prayers.
