Communion with Jesus – Charles Spurgeon

Come away to private communion. Come away, shut the doors of your chamber and talk with your Lord Jesus and have close and intimate dealing with Him.

– Charles Spurgeon –


Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus – Lilias Trotter

Turn your soul’s vision to Jesus, and look and look at Him, and a strange dimness will come over all that is apart from Him.

– Lilias Trotter –
(note: this is the quote that inspired the song “Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus”)


One Practical Way to Live a Holy Life – JC Ryle

What is the reason that some believers are so much brighter and holier than others? I believe the difference, in nineteen cases out of twenty, arises from different habits about private prayer. I believe that those who are not eminently holy pray little, and those who are eminently holy pray much.

– JC Ryle –


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 –
