Fear not because your prayer is stammering, your words feeble, and your language poor. Jesus can understand you.
HATE SIN! Instead of loving it, cleaving to it, excusing it, playing with it, we ought to hate it with a deadly hatred.
Sicknesses, losses, crosses, anxieties and disappointments seem absolutely needful to keep us humble, watchful and spiritual-minde d. They are as needful as the pruning knife to the vine and the refiner’s furnace to the gold.
True Christian is not an angel; he is not a halfangelic being, in whom is no weakness, or blemish, or infirmity: he is nothing of the kind. He is nothing more than a sinner who has found out his sinfulness, and has learned the blessed secret of living by faith in Christ.
Let it never surprise true Christians if they are slandered and misrepresented in this world. They must not expect to fare better than their Lord.
It is not hard to deceive ministers, relatives and friends. But it is impossible to deceive Christ.
What is the best safeguard against false doctrine? The Bible regularly read, regularly prayed over, regularly studied.
I fear it is sometimes forgotten that God has married together justification and sanctification. They are distinct and different things, beyond question, but one is never found without the other. All justified people are sanctified, and all sanctified people are justified. ... Tell me not of your justification, unless you have also some marks of sanctification. Boast not of Christ's work for you, unless you can show us the Spirit's work in you.
Go to the cross of Christ, all you that want to be delivered from the power of selfishness.
It costs something to be a true Christian. It will cost us our sins, our self-righteousn ess, our ease and our worldliness.
To say that we are sorry for our sins is mere hypocrisy, unless we show that we are really sorry for them, by giving them up. Doing is the very life of repentance.
Let us beware of repentance without evidence.
Examine your own hearts. Do you see there any habit or custom which you know is wrong in the sight of God? If you do, don't delay for a moment in attacking it. Resolve at once to lay it aside. Nothing darkens the eyes of the mind so much, and deadens the conscience so surely, as an allowed sin. It may be a little one, but it is not any less dangerous.
Sin forsaken is one of the best evidences of sin forgiven.
Conduct is the grand test of character. Words are one great evidence of the condition of the heart.
Live as if you thought that Christ might come at any time.
Holiness is the habit of being of one mind with God, according as we find His mind described in Scripture. It is the habit of agreeing in God's judgment, hating what He hates, loving what He loves, and measuring everything in this world by the standard of His Word.
Laughter, ridicule, opposition, persecution, are often the only reward which Christ's followers get from the world.
Do we profess to love Christ? Then let us show it by our lives.
The true secret of spiritual strength is self-distrust and deep humilty.
How is it that many who profess and call themselves Christians, do so little for the Savior whose name they bear?
Let us receive nothing, believe nothing, follow nothing which is not in the Bible, nor can be proved by the Bible.
We have no reason to be discouraged and cast down if the religion we profess is not popular and few agree with us. We must remember the words of our Lord Jesus Christ in this passage: ‘The gate is narrow’. Repentance, and faith in Christ, and holiness of life, have never been fashionable. The true flock of Christ has always been small. It must not move us to find that we are reckoned singular, and peculiar, and bigoted, and narrow minded. This is the ‘narrow way’. Surely it is better to enter into eternal life with a few, than to go to ‘destruction’ with a great company
Knowledge of the Bible never comes by intuition.
To be prayerless is to be without God, without Christ, without grace, without hope, and without heaven.
