Whatever keeps me from my Bible is my enemy, however harmless it may appear to be.

What is of man uses manipulation to conform. What is of #God uses implantation to transform.

Pure Christianity, instead of being shaped by its environment, actually stands in sharp opposition to it.

If JESUS cannot control you, HE cannot save you. And if HE cannot control ALL of you HE cannot control any of you.

We can be in our day what the heroes of faith were in their day - but remember at the time they didn't know they were heroes.

In every Christian's Heart, there is a cross and a throne, and the Christian is on the throne till he puts himself on the cross; if he refuses the cross, he remains on the throne. Perhaps this is at the bottom of the backsliding and worldliness among Gospel believers today. We want to be saved, but we insist that Christ do all the dying. No cross for us, no dethronement, no dying. We remain king within the little kingdom of man's soul and wear our tinsel crown with all the pride of a caesar; but we doom ourselves to shadows and weakness and spiritual sterility.

I do not know why God does some things, but I am convinced that nothing is accidental in his universe.
