The only lasting and fully satisfying joys for any man lie on the other side of a cross.

Salvation
Do you believe in the Holy Spirit? – Charles Spurgeon
My brethren, do you believe in the Holy Ghost?… Have we such a reliance upon the Holy Ghost? Do we believe that, at this moment, He can clothe us with power, even as He did the apostles at Pentecost? Do we believe that, under our preaching, by His energy a thousand might be born in a day?
– Charles Spurgeon –
God is with, for, and in us – Robert Baer
Bethlehem was God with us, Calvary was God for us, and Pentecost is God in us.

Importance of Repentance – Curtis Hutson
There is no doubt that all men from Adam on have had to repent in order to have a right relationship with God. The importance of repentance is demonstrated by the fact that men of every biblical age preached it.

Transformation vs Reformation – AW Tozer
Religion can reform a person’s life, but it can never transform him. Only the Holy Spirit can transform!
– AW Tozer –
The Moment – Ian Thomas
The moment you are redeemed through the atoning death of Christ upon the cross, you receive the Holy Spirit within your human spirit.

Christianity is a revolutionary principle of life – Ian Thomas

Presumed Salvation – Charles Spurgeon
If thou shalt hate the things that thou didst once love, and love the things that thou didst once hate; if thou hast really repented; if there be a thorough change of mind in thee; if thou be born again, then hast thou reason to rejoice: but if there be no vital change, no inward godliness; if there be no love to God, no prayer, no work of the Holy Spirit, then thy saying “I am saved” is but thine own assertion, and it may delude, but it will not deliver thee.
– Charles Spurgeon –
