Let the Cross Slay You Utterly – AW Tozer
Though the cross of Christ has been beautified by the poet and the artist, the avid seeker after God is likely to find it the same savage implement of destruction it was in the days of old. The way of the cross is still the pain-wracked path to spiritual power and fruitfulness. So do not seek to hide from it. Do not accept an easy way. Do not allow yourself to be patted to sleep in a comfortable church, void of power and barren of fruit. Do not paint the cross nor deck it with flowers. Take it for what it is, as it is, and you will find it the rugged way to death and life. Let it slay you utterly.

Make Me Thy Fuel – Amy Carmichael
Give me the Love that leads the way
The Faith that nothing can dismay
The Hope no disappointments tire
The Passion that’ll burn like fire
Let me not sink to be a clod
Make me Thy fuel, Flame of God

Compassion Costs – Samuel Chadwick
Compassion costs. It is easy enough to argue, criticize and condemn, but redemption is costly, and comfort draws from the deep. Brains can argue, but it takes heart to comfort.

The Heart of Christian Truth – Charles Spurgeon
Atonement by the blood of Jesus is not an arm of Christian truth; it is the heart of it.

Only the Blood Can Cleanse – AW Tozer
Only the blood of Jesus can cleanse us, yet if we withhold ourselves from that blood, we will be unclean forever.

What Can Wash Away My Sin? – Robert Lowry
What can wash away my sin? Nothing but the blood of Jesus;
What can make me whole again? Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
