No prayers can be heard which do not come from a forgiving heart.

According to the men of the world, few are going to hell; According to the Bible, few are going to heaven.

Christmas is a season which almost all Christians observe in one way or another. Some keep it as a religious season. Some keep it as a holiday. But all over the world, wherever there are Christians, in one way or another Christmas is kept.

True repentance is no light matter. It is a thorough change of heart about sin, a change showing itself in godly sorrow and humiliation - in heartfelt confession before the throne of grace - in a complete breaking off from sinful habits, and an abiding hatred of all sin. Such repentance is the inseparable companion of saving faith in Christ.

Praying and sinning will never live together in the same heart. Prayer will consume sin, or sin will choke prayer.

To say that we are sorry for our sins is mere hypocrisy, unless we show that we are really sorry for them, by giving them up. Doing is the very life of repentance.

Better to confess Christ 1000 times now and be despised by men, than be disowned by Christ before God on the day of Judgment.
