Read, but not to remember everything. Read because that 1% that you remember has the potential to change your life.
C. J. MahaneyAs we mature personally, as our families mature, and as our churches mature, we need the doctrine of sin more, not less; and we need to keep growing in rightly understanding and applying this doctrine. Be assured that this is no less true if you're a pastor or teacher or ministry worker. There's no pastoral privilege in relation to sin. There's no ministry exemption from the opposition of the flesh. There's only a heightened responsibility to oppose sin and to weaken the flesh, as an example to the flock.
C. J. MahaneyWe cannot free ourselves from pride and selfish ambition; a divine rescue is absolutely necessary.
C. J. MahaneySo make it your aim and lifelong habit, when you see someone who's serving, to be reminded of the sacrifice of the Savior, for apart from His sacrifice there is no serving.
