Dying of Starvation – AW Tozer

A man can die of starvation knowing all about bread, and a man can remain spiritually dead while knowing all the historic facts of Christianity.

The Importance of Grace – Jerry Bridges

The Bible teaches we are not only saved by grace, but we also live by grace every day of our lives. It is this important aspect of grace that seems to be so little understood or practiced by Christians.

Entering the Kingdom through tribulation – Dr. JH Jewett

We are not “born again” into soft and protected nurseries, but in the open country where we suck strength from the very terror of the tempest. We must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.

How to present Christ to an unbeliever – Paul Washer

We should never present Christ to the unbeliever as the cherry on top of an already wonderful life. The unbeliever must see that he has no life, and that all his personal achievements prior to Christ are monuments to his own vanity: made of sand and quickly passing.

– Paul Washer –

Reconciliation with God – Thomas Chalmers

Christ is able to save to the uttermost. He addeth intercession now to the atonement which he hath already made once for all. What a blessed apparatus of reconciliation with God! He who pleadeth for us at God’s right hand is omnipotent to save – and willing as He is able.

– Thomas Chalmers –
1780-1847

Quickening Faith – AC Dixon

We need a quickening of faith; faith in the power of the God of Pentecost to convict and convert three thousand in a day. Faith, not in a process of culture by which we hope to train children into a state of salvation, but faith in the mighty God who can quicken a dead soul into life in a moment; faith in moral and spiritual revolution rather than evolution.
