Beside the Shepherd – AW Tozer
The only safe place for sheep is by the side of the shepherd, because the devil does not fear sheep; he just fears the shepherd.

Christ, the Way to Holiness – Adrian Rogers
Holiness is not the way to Christ. Christ is the way to holiness.

Jesus and Jesus Alone – Count Zinzendorf
I have but one passion: It is He, it is He alone. The world is the field and the field is the world; and henceforth that country shall be my home where I can be most used in winning souls for Christ.
– Count Nicolaus Ludwn Zinzendorf –
Jesus Deals with Money – John MacArthur
Sixteen of the thirty-eight parables of Jesus deal with money. One out of ten verses in the New Testament deals with that subject. Scripture offers about five hundred verses on prayer, fewer than five hundred on faith, and over two thousand on money. The believer’s attitude toward money and possessions is determinative.

Satan is busy when Christ is near – Robert Murray M’Cheyne
I know well that when Christ is nearest, Satan also is busiest.

What Place Do You Give Jesus? – Leonard Ravenhill
I find it most intriguing to contemplate the fact that while men are considering what place to give Jesus Christ in history, He has already decided what place to give them in eternity.

The Greatness of His Sufferings – John Bunyan
For my part, I stand amazed at those that would not have the world believe, that the death of Jesus Christ was, in itself, so terrible as it was. …I say, if Christ was put into the very capacity of one that must suffer what in justice ought to be inflicted for sin; then, how we can so diminish the greatness of his sufferings, as some do, without undervaluing of the greatness of his love, I know not; and how they will answer it, I know not.
– John Bunyan –

Be Like Christ – Charles Spurgeon
O, there is nothing that can so advantage you, nothing can so prosper you, so assist you, so make you walk towards heaven rapidly, so keep your heads upwards toward the sky, and your eyes radiant with glory, like the imitation of Jesus Christ. It is when, by the power of the Holy Spirit, you are enabled to walk with Jesus in his very footsteps, and tread in his ways, you are most happy and you are most known to be sons and daughters of God. For your sake, Christ, I say, be like Christ. To draw him nearer to me, and myself nearer to him is the innermost longing of my soul.
– Charles Spurgeon –
