We are not made holy for ourselves, but for God.

Don’t Lose Jesus – Vance Havner
It is one of the ironies of the ministry that the very man who works in God’s name is often hardest put to find time for God. The parents of Jesus lost Him at church, and they were not the last ones to lose Him there.
– Vance Havner –
Apart From Christ – Tim Gogerty
We all have to come to the realization that, as Jesus said “Apart from me, YOU CAN DO NOTHING”. We cannot preach with any effect upon the souls of men at anytime or at any place. But it is like falling off a log to Him. For Christ to win souls is a daily occurrence.

God’s Commission on Your Life – David Livingstone
If a commission by an earthly king is considered a honor, how can a commission by a Heavenly King be considered a sacrifice?
– David Livingstone –
God, Go With Me – David Livingstone
God, send me anywhere, only go with me. Lay any burden on me, only sustain me. And sever any tie in my heart except the tie that binds my heart to Yours.”
– David Livingstone –
How to experience the impossible – Eric Ludy
It is our job to obey. It is God’s job to do the impossible.

Solitude with God – Gordon Cove
We must deliberately seek to meet with God absolutely alone, and to secure such aloneness with God we are bidden to “enter into thy closet.” God absolutely insists on this “closet”-communion with Himself. One reason, no doubt, that He demands it, is to test our sincerity. There is no test for the soul like solitude. Do you shrink from solitude? Perhaps the cause for your neglect of the “closet” is a guilty conscience? You are afraid to enter into the solitude. You know that however cheerful you appear to be you are not really happy. You surround yourself with company lest, being alone, truth should invade your delusion…

The Fruit of Prayer – EM Bounds
Faith, and hope, and patience and all the strong, beautiful, vital forces of piety are withered and dead in a prayerless life. The life of the individual believer, his personal salvation, and personal Christian graces have their being, bloom, and fruitage in prayer.

God’s Grace is Always Sufficient – John Bunyan
No child of God sins to that degree as to make himself incapable of forgiveness.
