Sin is like mold: it grows best in the dark. Expose it to the light, and it starts to dry up.

Classic Quote
All men ought to hate sin, which is so odious before God that no sacrifice but the death of His Son could satisfy for it.
– John Knox
Classic Quote
Every creature under heaven reflects some aspect of God’s goodness. The whole world is a map to represent and a herald to proclaim this wondrous perfection of God.
– Thomas Boston
Thirsty Again
If you look for satisfaction or fulfillment, meaning or identity, anywhere other than Jesus, you’ll be left empty. There may be a moment of refreshment or pleasure, but you’ll soon be thirsty again.
– Tim Chester in You Can Change
God Is Better
The invitation of the Bible is not to dreary abstinence. It’s a call to find in God that which truly satisfies. It’s believing that we find lasting fulfillment, satisfaction, joy, and identity in knowing God, and nowhere else. Whatever sin offers, God offers more, for God offers us himself. God isn’t just good, he’s better – better than everything else – and the true source of all joy.
– Tim Chester in You Can Change
Classic Quote
All creatures continually live upon the generosity of God; He maintains the whole creation through His mere goodness. And every good thing that is enjoyed is a part of his generosity.
– Jonathan Edwards
In The Shadow
Practice doing with less than usual, not buying even when you can afford it, buying nothing but necessities for a time, and spending time in the shadow of Calvary. How much less you’ll find you need when you see how much Christ gave! Draw up your budget at the cross.
– David Murray in Reset
Classic Quote
Until men recognize that they owe everything to God, that they are nourished by his fatherly care, that he is the Author of their every good, that they should seek nothing beyond him – they will never yield him willing service. Nay, unless they establish their complete happiness in him, they will never give themselves truly and sincerely to him.
– John Calvin
