Fear may suppress sin, though faith alone conquers and overcomes sin.
– Samuel Bolton –
from The True Bounds of Christian Freedom, 1645
Troublous times, departures from the faith, evil men waxing worse and worse, love waxing cold, are things distinctly predicted.
– JC Ryle –
Politics, or controversy, or party spirit, or worldliness, have eaten out the heart of lively piety in too many of us. The subject of personal godliness has fallen sadly into the background.

You know, we live in a day when we are more afraid of holiness than we are of sinfulness.

You say to me; “Oh brother, we are ‘in the world’ [and not of it].” Sure you are, but you don’t have to pump it into your living room!! Garbage in, Garbage out !!!

Church is all fun and games until someone gets poked in the “I”.

A sight of Christ, Brothers and Sisters, will keep you from despondency, and doubts, and despair. A sight of Christ! How shall I stir you to it? It will fire you to duty; it will deliver you from temptation; it will, in fact, make you like He. A man is known by his company; and if you have become acquainted with Christ, and know Him, you will be sure to reflect His light! It is because the moon has converse with the sun, that she has any light for this dark world’s night; and if you talk with Christ, the Sun, He will shine on you so gloriously, that you, like the moon, shall reflect His Light, and the dark night of this world shall be enlightened by your radiance. The Lord help us to know Him!
– Charles Spurgeon –
If you have any fears—if you seek Christ and find Him—they will be removed. You complain that you do not feel the guilt of sin, that you cannot humble yourself enough. The sight of Christ is the very best means of setting sin in its true colors. There is no repenting like that which comes from a look from Christ’s eyes— the Lord turned and looked upon Peter, and he went out and wept bitterly. So it is not a sight of the Law—it is the sight of Christ looking upon us which will break our hearts!
