We may never be martyrs but we can die to self, to sin, to the world, to our plans and ambitions. That is the significance of baptism; we died with Christ and rose to new life.

If you are what you've always been, you are not a Christian. A Christian is a new creation.

One hour in heaven, and we shall be ashamed that we ever grumbled.

Many people are in a rut and a rut is nothing but a grave-with both ends kicked out.

It is a matter of whether one wants to get rich or be rich. We can be rich in Christ Jesus or perhaps get rich in Egypt, but we cannot do both.

We honor God by asking for great things when they are a part of His promise. We dishonor Him and cheat ourselves when we ask for molehills where He has offered mountains.

Satan does some of his worst work on exhausted Christians when nerves are frayed and the mind is faint.
