Carnal Christians? – Leonard Ravenhill
Get rid of this bunkum about the “carnal Christian.” Forget it! If you’re carnal, you’re not saved.

The High Price of Jesus’ Atonement – Paris Reidhead
Do you realize this? That if you were to somehow purpose to, from this day on, perfectly please God and succeed in doing it, that that perfect obedience, from this moment, would not acquire in the remainder of your life, enough merit to atone for one past sin, because God exacts and God demands perfect obedience and there’s no merit for giving him the minimal requirement.

Entirely Different Than The World – Eric Ludy
We want the corruption of the world and yet still go to heaven. We want to be like the world with the pleasure of sin but still have the benefits of salvation. But Scripture is clear, though we are in the world, we are not to be OF the world. We are to be entirely different than the world.

Inner Hypocrisy Through Speech – Oswald Chambers
Our modern speech is a great aid to inner hypocrisy, and it becomes a snare because it is easy to talk piously and live iniquitously.

Sin In the Eyes of the Holy One – Robert Candlish

The Creeping Wilderness that Takes Over – 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.
