The best title of the professing church of God today, in my judgment, is “Unbelieving Believers.” There’s cancer in the church …

Christian Life
The One Secret of a Holy Life – Oswald Chambers
The one marvelous secret of a holy life lies not in imitating Jesus, but in letting the perfections of Jesus manifest themselves in my mortal flesh. Sanctification is “Christ in you.”… Sanctification is not drawing from Jesus the power to be holy; it is drawing from Jesus the holiness that was manifested in Him, and He manifests it in me.
– Oswald Chambers –
Are You Seeking Your Blessing or God’s Praise? – GHC Macgregor
How often has very earnest prayer for the fullness of the Holy Ghost been in vain, because he who sought that unspeakable blessing sought it rather for the glory which the possession of it, or the reputation for the possession of it, might bring to man, than for the honor and praise that might be brought to God.

Saved and Sanctified – William J. Seymour
Any man that is saved and sanctified can feel the fire burning in
his heart, when he calls on the Name of Jesus.

Qualifications to Join Us – Samuel Chadwick
Let no man join us who is afraid, and we want none but those who are saved, sanctified and aflame with the fire of the Holy Spirit.

Be a Christian at All Times – Charles Spurgeon
My brethren, let me say, be like Christ at all times. Imitate him in “public.” Most of us live in some sort of public capacitymany of us are called to work before our fellow-men every day. We are watched; our words are caught; our lives are examinedtaken to pieces. The eagle-eyed, argus-eyed world observes everything we do, and sharp critics are upon us. Let us live the life of Christ in public. Let us take care that we exhibit our Master, and not ourselvesso that we can say, “It is no longer I that live, but Christ that lives in me.”
– Charles Spurgeon –
Make Me Holy – Robert Murray M’Cheyne
Lord make me as holy as a pardoned sinner can be.

Don’t Neglect the Most Important Things – AW Tozer
The neglected heart will soon be a heart overrun with worldly thoughts; the neglected life will soon become a moral chaos; the church that is not jealously protected by mighty intercession and sacrificial labors will before long become the abode of every evil bird and the hiding place for unsuspected corruption. The creeping wilderness will soon take over that church that trusts in its own strength and forgets to watch and pray.

A Self-Centered Church Can’t Evangelize the World – John R. Mott
The invasion of the Church by the world is a menace to the extension of Christ’s Kingdom. In all ages conformity to the world by Christians has resulted in lack of spiritual life and a consequent lack of spiritual vision and enterprise. A secularized or self-centered Church can never evangelize the world.
