For God says, ‘If it the consequences you are afraid of, don’t come to Me for protection.’ There is a great difference between a selfish fear of consequences and wanting God’s protection because you have a work to carry out for Him.

If Armed – William Gurnall
As [there is] no standing without armor, so [there is] no fear of falling into the fiend’s hands if armed.

Remember that Christ Himself is better than any of His blessings; better than the power, or the victory, or the service that He grants. … He is God’s best: we may have Christ; yielding to Him in such completeness and abandonment of self that it is no longer we that live, but Christ that liveth in us. Will you thus take Him?

The school of life offers some difficult courses, but it is in the difficult class that one learns the most, especially when your teacher is the Lord Jesus Himself…No athlete complains when the training is hard. He thinks of the game, the race, and the prize.

We honor the old prophets, we honor the Tozers and Spurgens but we don’t want to pay the price they paid.

There’s one thing we need above everything else; it’s something we don’t talk about these days. We need a mighty avalanche of conviction of sin.

You need the blood of Jesus as much now as at first. You never can stand before God in yourself. You must go again and again to be washed. Even on your dying bed, you must hide under Jehovah, our righteousness. You must also lean on Jesus. He alone can overcome the sin in you. Draw nearer and nearer to Him every day.

The Lord cannot forget you. If you stood before God in your own righteousness, then I see how you might be separated from His love and care. But you stand before Him in Christ, and Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. You will be held in everlasting remembrance. The world may forget you, your friends may forget you; this is a forgetting world. You may not have a tombstone over your grave, but God will not forget you.
