We find here that Christianity is not about becoming religious. It is not about conforming to a list of rules. It is not about adopting a philosophy. It is not about financial prosperity. It is not about becoming a nice person. It is about becoming a new person. It is about going from death to life. It is about going from darkness to light.
– Tony Merida in Exalting Jesus in Ephesians
I commend to you the importance of perseverance in prayer. Once having begun the habit, never give it up….let no excuse make you give up prayer.– J. C. Ryle
The glorious excellencies and beauty of God will be what will forever entertain the minds of the saints, and the love of God will be their everlasting feast.– Jonathan Edwards
Positionally, we are holy because we are united with Christ. Now we must live in a manner that is consistent with this position. Personal holiness is about becoming in practice what we are in position.– Tony Merida in Exalting Jesus in Ephesians
I commend to you the importance of intercession in our prayers…. We should stir ourselves up to name other names besides our own before the throne of grace.– J. C. Ryle
He, therefore, is the devout man, who lives no longer to his own will, or the way and the spirit of the world, but to the sole will of God; who considers God in everything, who serves God in everything, who makes all parts of his common life parts of piety, by doing everything in the name of God, and under such rules as are conformable to His glory.– William Law
To love God is the first and highest duty in life. – Maurice Roberts in What Does It Mean To Love God?
Joy is born in the heart by the Word of God that draws our eyes to Him who through Jesus Christ loves us, is with us, and is in us.

The Holy Ghost rides in the chariot of Scripture, and not in the wagon of modern thought.– Charles Spurgeon
Glory awaits, and Christian pilgrims maintain a steady but determined discipline of facing forward. What lies ahead fills our vision and keeps us expectant.
