doe worship christ
Never does a person see any beauty in Christ as a Savior, until they discover that they are a lost and ruined sinner.
jesus kings men
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.
speak christ ashamed
If you love Christ, never be ashamed to let others see it and know it. Speak for Him. Witness for Him. Live for Him.

A Christian is a walking sermon. They preach far more than a minister does, for they preach all week long.

It is neglect of the Bible which makes so many a prey to the first false teacher whom they hear.
land house style
There is more Bible buying, Bible selling, Bible printing and Bible distributing than ever before in our nation. We see Bibles in every bookstore - Bibles of every size, price and style. There are Bibles in almost every house in the land. But all this time I fear we are in danger of forgetting that to HAVE the Bible is one thing, and to READ it quite another.

Do not glory in your own faith, your own feelings, your own knowledge, or your own diligence. Glory in nothing but Christ.

Wealth is no mark of God’s favor. Poverty is no mark of God’s displeasure.
jesus believe communication
True Christianity is not merely believing a certain set of dry abstract propositions: it is to live in daily personal communication with an actual living person - Jesus Christ.
christian running real
It costs something to be a real Christian, according to the standard of the Bible. There are enemies to be overcome, battles to be fought, sacrifices to be made, an Egypt to be forsaken, a wilderness to be passed through, a cross to be carried, a race to be run. Conversion is not putting a person in an arm-chair and taking them easily to heaven. It is the beginning of a mighty conflict, in which it costs much to win the victory.
hatred sorrow goes-on
True repentance begins with KNOWLEDGE of sin. It goes on to work SORROW for sin. It leads to CONFESSION of sin before God. It shows itself before a person by a thorough BREAKING OFF from sin. It results in producing a DEEP HATRED for all sin.
love-you want praying
If you want to find out how much someone loves you, find out how much they pray for you.
christian world surprise
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.
