Repentance
December 6, 2012
“Yet lackest thou one thing; Go sell all that thou hast, and give to the poor; he was grieved at that saying, and went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions!” Poor youth! He had a good mind to be a Christian, and to inherit eternal life, but thought it too dear, if it could be purchased at no less an expense than of his estate! And thus many, both young and old, now-a-days, come running to worship our blessed Lord in public, and kneel before him in private, and inquire at his gospel, what they must do to inherit eternal life: but when they find they must renounce the self-enjoyment of riches, and forsake all in affection to follow him, they cry, “The Lord pardon us in this thing! We pray thee, have us excused” … He will not!”

As long as we leave sin unconfessed, we are actually saying that we don’t believe the Lord is going to come now.

I am not raising future presidents or politicians, but raising children who will lead a nation to repentance, and die for their neighbors.

We have missed the whole office and virtue of praying if it does not rectify our conduct. The very nature of things is that we must either quit praying or quit bad conduct. Cold, dead praying may exist with bad conduct, but cold, dead praying is no praying in God’s eyes. Our praying advances in power as it rectifies our lives. A life growing in its purity and devotion will be a more prayerful life.

There are some who would have Christ cheap. They would have Him without the Cross. But the price will not come down.

Regret for a sinful past will remain until we truly believe that for us in Christ that sinful past no longer exists.

Stubbornness and self-love give way to beauty in one who has been broken by God.

Seest thou the necessity of that inward change, that spiritual birth, that life from the dead, that holiness? And art thou thoroughly convinced, that without it no man shall see the Lord?
