Christ and Him Crucified – David Brainerd

The seriousness of sin – Tony Reinke

The riddle of the Christian life – Charles Spurgeon
The Christian’s life is a matchless riddle. No worldling can understand it. Dead, yet alive! Crucified with Christ, and yet at the same time Risen with Christ in newness of life! Union with the suffering, bleeding Saviour, and death to the world and sin, are soul-cheering things. O for more enjoyment of them.
