Use Every Means of Grace
Would you like to possess more faith? Do you find believing so pleasant, that you would like to believe more? Then take heed that you are diligent in the use of every means of grace—diligent in your private communion with God—diligent in your daily watchfulness over time, temper, and tongue—diligent in your private Bible reading—diligent in your own private prayers. It is vain to expect spiritual prosperity, when we are careless about these things. Let those who will, call it excessively precise and legal to be particular about these things. I only reply, that there never was an eminent saint who neglected them.
– J.C. Ryle

for which Christ died.

Surrender
If Jesus reigns, then by definition, I cannot reign.
I must be a subordinate.
If Jesus is active today, right now,
then I must first and foremost surrender to his influence
on a minute-by-minute basis.
– Gary Thomas
Classic Quote
It must not content us to take our bodies to church
if we leave our hearts at home.

Classic Quote
There is not one blade of grass, there is no color in this world that is not intended to make us rejoice.

A Refusal To Let God Be God
Sin is not primarily about breaking rules,
although it results in that;
it is not at bottom about self-centeredness,
although it always is that.
It is at bottom a refusal to let God be God over life,
to give him the center, the focus,
the glory that are his.
– David Wells
Classic Quote
This is the holy reasoning of love; it draws no license from grace, but rather feels the strong constraints of gratitude leading it to holiness.
– Charles Haddon Spurgeon
