Christ in you, on the grounds of redemption – this is the Gospel! To preach anything less than this must inevitably produce “Evan-jellyfish” folk with no spiritual vertebrae, whose faith does not “behave!”

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

from That Incredible Christian
Stubbornness and self-love give way to beauty in one who has been broken by God.
– Watchman Nee –
from The Release of the Spirit
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?
– John Wesley –
from his sermon “Awake, Thou That Sleepest”
If I am adopted, I have become a child; God is no longer my judge, but my Father.
– DL Moody –
from his sermon “The Eighth Chapter of Romans”
Save heaven itself there is nought more blissful than to enjoy that spirit of adoption.
– Charles Spurgeon –
from his sermon “The Fatherhood of God”
I desire to handle the Word of God so that no man may ever find an excuse in my ministry for his living without Christ.
– Charles Spurgeon –
Dr. A.W. Tozer mentioned recently that, ‘We are not only going to be judged for what we have done; we are going to be judged for what we could have done.’ That hurts. Oh what we could have done! Oh the sacrifices we could have made, the prayers we could have offered, the tears for the lost we could have shed, the souls we could have won to Christ! There are resources in God that we believers have never touched; there is wealth, spiritual wealth in God that we have never discovered; there is power in God that we have left untapped–all because we have been faithless and unbelieving.
– Leonard Ravenhill –
I grieve that my love is no stronger, and that I am no more like Him. I wonder at His glory, and sink before Him with shame. How is it that the soul being of such value, and God so great, eternity so near and yet we are so little moved?
