A cheap Christianity, without a cross, will prove in the end a useless Christianity, without a crown.

Your religious life is every day to be a proof that God works impossibilities; your religious life is to be a series of impossibilities made possible and actual by God’s almighty power.

When He was crucified He did that in the wild weather of His outlying provinces which He had done at home in glory and gladness.
– George MacDonald –
as quoted by C.S. Lewis
A pure heart is one to which all that is not of God is strange and jarring.
– John Tavler –
as was often quoted by Amy Carmichael
Christ is either Lord of all, or He is not Lord at all.
– Hudson Taylor –
Are the things you are living for worth Christ dying for?
– Leonard Ravenhill –
He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose.
– Jim Elliot –
No one whose senses have been exercised to know good and evil but must grieve over the sight of zealous souls seeking to be filled with the Holy Spirit while they are yet living in a state of moral carelessness or borderline sin. Such a things is a moral contradiction. Whoever would be filled and indwell by the Spirit should first judge his life for any hidden iniquities; he should courageously expel from his heart everything which is out of accord with the character of God as revealed by the Holy Scriptures.
– AW Tozer –
The words of the Lord hurt and offend until there is nothing left to be hurt or offended. Jesus has no tenderness whatsoever toward anything that is ultimately going to ruin a person in his service to God. If the Spirit of God brings to your mind a word of the Lord that hurts you, you may be sure that there is something He wants to hurt to death.
– Oswald Chambers –
