No salvation without regeneration - no spiritual life without a new birth - no heaven without a new heart.

Do you wish to grow in grace and be a holy Christian? Then never forget the value of prayer.

We must wrestle earnestly in prayer, like men contending with a deadly enemy for life.

The Bible applied to the heart by the Holy Ghost is the chief means by which men are built up and established in the faith, after their conversion. It is able to cleanse them, to sanctify them, to instruct them in righteousness, and to furnish them thoroughly for all good works.

If we are true Christians, we must not expect everything smooth in our journey to heaven. We must count it no strange thing, if we have to endure sicknesses, losses, bereavements, and disappointments, just like other men. Free pardon and full forgiveness, grace along the way, and glory at the endall this our Savior has promised to give. But He has never promised that we shall have no afflictions.

Let us be real, honest, and sincere in our Christianity. We cannot deceive an all-seeing God.

Imagination is the hotbed where this sin is too often hatched. Guard your thoughts, and there will be little fear about your actions.
