The meaning of being a Christian is that in response for the gift of a whole Christ, I give my whole self to Him.

Preserving fruit of my labor – George Whitefield
“My brother Wesley acted wisely,” Whitefield said. “The souls that were awakened under his ministry he joined in societies, and thus preserved the fruit of his labor. This I neglected, and my people are a rope of sand.”

Does Christ control you? – Dawson Trotman
The question for each man to settle is not what he would do for the Lord if he had more money, time or education, but what he will do with the things he has. It’s not who you are or what you have that matters—but whether Christ controls you.

Self-Giving Love – Bill Ury
Holiness is nothing less than self-giving love. More than conceptual, this love is tangibly self-offering, self-dispensing, and self-emptying. It is the essence of biblical discipleship.

The importance of God’s Spirit – Bill Bright
No truth is more important to the believer than an understanding of the person and ministry of the Holy Spirit and how to be filled and controlled by Him as a way of life by faith.

Choose God’s Kingdom – William Law
If you have not chosen the Kingdom of God first, it will in the end make no difference what you have chosen instead.

We don’t have to do exceptional things – Oswald Chambers
The “show business,” which is so incorporated into our view of Christian work today, has caused us to drift far from our Lord’s conception of discipleship. It is instilled in us to think that we have to do exceptional things for God; we have not. We have to be exceptional in ordinary things, to be holy in mean streets, among mean people, surrounded by sordid sinners. That is not learned in five minutes.

Meekness is His method – AW Tozer
Jesus calls us to His rest, and meekness is His method. The meek man cares not at all who is greater than he, for he has long ago decided that the esteem of the world is not worth the effort.

My Motto – Samuel Logan Brengle
For the past ten years God has enabled me to keep a perfect, unbroken purpose to serve Him with my whole heart. No temptation has swerved that steadfast purpose. “HOLINESS TO THE LORD” (Exodus 28:36) has been my motto. My heart pants after Him and, as I seek Him in fervent, patient, believing prayer and in diligent searching of His Word, He is deepening the work of grace in my soul.
