I have one desire now – to live a life of reckless abandon for the Lord, putting all my energy and strength into it.

Discipleship – Bill Hull
Discipleship isn’t a program or an event; it’s a way of life. It’s not for a limited time, but for our whole life. Discipleship isn’t for beginners alone; it’s for all believers for every day of their life. Discipleship isn’t just one of the things the church does; it is what the church does.

You are not called to be comfortable – Francis Chan
God doesn’t call us to be comfortable. He calls us to trust Him so completely that we are unafraid to put ourselves in situations where we will be in trouble if He doesn’t come through.

What makes some Christians more holy than others? – 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.

Reading and Thinking – J. Oswald Sanders
Unless our reading includes serious thinking, it is a waste of time.

Don’t try to please everyone – JC Ryle
We must give up the vain idea of trying to please everybody. That is impossible, and the attempt is a mere waste of time. We must be content to walk in Christ’s steps, and let the world say what it likes.

Put to Death – Oswald Chambers
If I do not put to death the things in me which are not of God, they will put to death the things that are of God.

Grab the Impossible – CT Studd
God wants not nibbles of the possible, but grabbers of the impossible.

No Man is Greater Than His Prayer Life – Leonard Ravenhill
No man is greater than his prayer life. The pastor who is not praying is playing. The people who are not praying are straying. We have many organizers, but few agonizers. Many players and payers, few pray-ers. Many singers, few clingers. Lots of pastors, few wrestlers. Many fears, few tears. Much fashion, little passion. Many interferes, few intercession. Many writers, but few fighters. Failing here, we fail everywhere.
