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.
– Corrie ten Boom –
We honor the old prophets, we honor the Tozers and Spurgens but we don’t want to pay the price they paid.
– Paul Washer –
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.
– Leonard Ravenhill –
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.
– Robert Murray McCheyne –
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.
– Robert Murray McCheyne –
None so empty of grace as he that thinks he is full.
Grace means undeserved kindness. It is the gift of God to man the moment he sees he is unworthy of God’s favor.
If we would ripen in grace, we must love [to be] near Jesus – in His presence.
– CH Spurgeon –
You know, people say that today. “Oh, I am just a saved sinner.” That is like saying you are a married bachelor. That is like saying you are an honest thief, or a pure harlot. You can’t be a saved sinner. You are either saved or you are a sinner. He came. “Thou shalt call his name Jesus. He shall save his people from their sins.”
