Christ Jesus is my life! (Colossians 3:4)
Would you stubbornly, purposefully, emphatically, and aggressively live like this today with me?

All professing Christians should examine themselves and try their own state. It is not those outside the churches where the dead are to be found; there are only too many inside our churches, and close to our pulpits—too many on the benches, and too many in the pews. The land is like the valley in Ezekiel’s vision, “full of bones, very many, and very dry.” (Ezek. 37:2) There are dead souls in all our parishes, and dead souls in all our streets. There is hardly a family in which all live to God; there is hardly a house in which there is not someone dead. Oh, let us all search and look at home! Let us prove our own selves. Are we alive or dead?

A pure heart is one to which all that is not of God is strange and jarring.
– John Tavler –
as was often quoted by Amy Carmichael
Christ is either Lord of all, or He is not Lord at all.
– Hudson Taylor –
Only Christ can live the Christian life – He never said we could; He always said He would!
– Ian Thomas –
No one whose senses have been exercised to know good and evil but must grieve over the sight of zealous souls seeking to be filled with the Holy Spirit while they are yet living in a state of moral carelessness or borderline sin. Such a things is a moral contradiction. Whoever would be filled and indwell by the Spirit should first judge his life for any hidden iniquities; he should courageously expel from his heart everything which is out of accord with the character of God as revealed by the Holy Scriptures.
– AW Tozer –
Keep as far as you can from those temptations that feed and strengthen the sins which you would overcome. Lay siege to your sins, and starve them out, by keeping away the food and fuel which is their maintenance and life.
– Richard Baxter –
The closer a person is to God, the more terrible is the least sin seen to be.
– Rees Howells –
We shall not get revival by filling our churches with men, but by getting the men who already come to our churches filled with God.
