God has not promised to bless our good motives, dreams and innovation. He has promised to bless His plan, that plan is that disciples make other disciples—everything else is a sideshow.

The whole lives of Christians ought to be a kind of aspiration after piety, seeing they are called unto holiness.
– John Calvin –
The characteristic of holiness, which is the outcome of the indwelling of God, is blazing truthfulness with regard to God’s word and an amazing tenderness in personal dealings.
– Oswald Chambers –
A tree may always be known by its fruit. Just so, a true Christian may always be discovered by their habits, tastes, and affections.
– JC Ryle –
Before I preach love, mercy, and grace, I must preach sin, law, and judgment.
– John Wesley –
Prayer is the surest remedy against the devil and besetting sins. That sin will never stand firm which is heartily prayed against. That devil will never long keep dominion over us which we beseech the Lord to cast forth. But then we must spread out all our case before our heavenly Physician, if he is to give us daily relief.
– JC Ryle –
from A Call to Prayer
I believe the holier a man becomes, the more he mourns over the unholiness which remains in him.
– Charles Spurgeon –
The holiest person is one who is most conscious of what sin is.
– Oswald Chambers –
True repentance will entirely change you; the bias of your souls will be changed, then you will delight in God, in Christ, in His Law, and in His people.
– George Whitefield –
