Beware of manufacturing a God of your own: a God who is all mercy, but not just. Such a God is an idol of your own.
Knowledge of the Bible never comes by intuition. It can only be obtained by diligent, regular, daily, attentive reading.
Let us watch against pride in every shape - pride of intellect, pride of wealth, pride of our own goodness. Nothing is so likely to keep a person out of heaven, and prevent them from seeing Christ, as pride. So long as we think we are something we shall never be saved. Let us pray for and cultivate humility; let us seek to know ourselves correctly, and to find out our place in the sight of a holy God.
Do we profess to love Christ? Then let us show it by our lives.
Abide in Me says Jesus. Cling to Me. Stick fast to Me. Live the life of close and intimate communion with Me. Get nearer to Me. Roll every burden on Me. Cast your whole weight on Me. Never let go your hold on Me for a moment. Be, as it were, rooted and planted in Me. Do this and I will never fail you. I will ever abide in you.
I fear we are in danger of forgetting that to HAVE the Bible is one thing, and to READ it quite another.
Wherever we may be, or whatever our circumstances, the Lord Jesus sees them. We are never beyond the reach of His care.
In Christ alone God’s rich provision of salvation for sinners is treasured up: by Christ alone God’s abundant mercies come down from heaven to earth. Christ’s blood alone can cleanse us; Christ’s righteousness alone can cleanse us; Christ’s merit alone can give us a title to heaven. Jews and Gentiles, learned and unlearned, kings and poor men--all alike must either be saved by the Lord Jesus, or lost forever.
It costs something to be a true Christian. It will cost us our sins, our self-righteousn ess, our ease and our worldliness.
Let us beware of repentance without evidence.
If God has given His Son to die for us, let us beware of doubting His kindness and love in any painful providence of our daily life.
The eye of God! Think of that. Everywhere, in every house, in every field, in every room, in every company, alone or in a crowd, the eye of God is always upon you.
Let us never forget that our chief danger is from within. The world and the devil combined, cannot do us as much harm as our own hearts will, if we do not watch and pray.
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.
To be prayerless is to be without God, without Christ, without grace, without hope, and without heaven.
Let us receive nothing, believe nothing, follow nothing which is not in the Bible, nor can be proved by the Bible.
Whatever others around you think, don't you ever be ashamed of being a Christian.
Prayer needs neither learning, wisdom or book knowledge to begin it. It needs nothing but heart and will.
Until we give God our heart, we give Him nothing at all.
Fear not because your prayer is stammering, your words feeble, and your language poor. Jesus can understand you.
The nearer we live to God while we live, the more ready we will be to dwell forever in His presence when we die.
Faith is to the soul what life is to the body. Prayer is to faith what breath is to the body. How a person can live and not breathe is past my comprehension, and how a person can believe and not pray is past my comprehension too.
Knowledge of the Bible never comes by intuition.
Backsliding, generally first begins with neglect of private prayer.
Are you tempted? Look unto Jesus. Are you afflicted? Look unto Jesus. Do all speak evil of you? Look unto Jesus. Do you feel cold, dull, and backsliding? Look unto Jesus.
