The essence of Christianity is centered upon the Lord Jesus Christ. The sum and substance of being a Christian is trusting Christ with the entirety of one's being. The height of the Christian life is adoring Christ, the depth of it loving Him, the breadth of it obeying Him, and the length of it following Him. Everything in the Christian life revolves around Jesus Christ. Simply put, Christianity is Christ.

Unless the Holy Ghost blesses the Word, we who preach the gospel are of all men most miserable, for we have attempted a task that is impossible. We have entered on a sphere where nothing but the supernatural will ever avail. If the Holy Spirit does not renew the hearts of our hearers, we cannot do it. If the Holy Ghost does not regenerate them, we cannot. If He does not send the truth home into their souls, we might as well speak into the ear of a corpse.

There is a vast difference between merely knowing about Christ and actually knowing Him-the difference between heaven and hell.

It will cost you to follow Christ, but it costs even more not to follow Him.

If you do not receive Christ as the Lamb who saves and delivers, you will face Him as the Lion who stalks and devours.

If there is no fruit in sanctification, there is no root in regeneration.

In the race of faith, stay focused upon Christ, not the other runners, nor the spectators.
