Sin is a poisonous weed that throws the whole nature out of order. The inner life disintegrates; the flesh lusts after forbidden pleasures; the moral judgment is distorted so that often good appears evil and evil good; time is chosen over eternity, earth over heaven and death over life.
– AW Tozer –
Live near to God, and all things will appear little to you in comparison with eternal realities.
– Robert Murray M’Cheyne –
We need to pray until we get our spiritual eyes refocused on the holiness of God and the lostness of men.
– Leonard Ravenhill –
In all things look to the end, and how you will stand before that just Judge.
– Thomas a’ Kempis –
1380-1471
I value all things only by the price they shall gain in eternity.
– John Wesley –
1703-1791
The life to come depends upon this present life. As the life of adult age depends upon infancy, or the reward upon work; or the prize of racers or soldiers upon their running or fighting; or the merchant’s gain upon his voyage. Heaven is won or lost on earth; the possession is there, but the preparation is here.
– Richard Baxter –
from Dying Thoughts, 1683
I desire to have both heaven and hell ever in my eye, while I stand on this isthmus of life, between two boundless oceans.
– John Wesley –
Live near to God, and all things will appear little to you in comparison with eternal realities.
– Robert Murray M’Cheyne –
He only can truly pray who is all aglow for holiness, for God, and
for heaven.
