By the time the average Christian gets his temperature up to normal, everybody thinks he has a fever!

Because the Lord Jesus died on the Cross, I have received forgiveness of sins; because the Lord Jesus rose from the dead, I have received new life; because the Lord Jesus has been exalted to the right hand of the Father, I have received the outpoured Spirit. All is because of Him; nothing is because of me.

A characteristic of the flesh is its fickleness: it alternates between Yes and No and vice versa. But the will of God is: "Walk not according to the flesh (not even for a moment) but according to the Spirit."

Long-lasting victory can never be separated from a long-lasting stand on the foundation of the cross.

If you would test the character of anything, you only need to enquire whether that thing leads you to God or away from God.

So we can say, reverently, that God never gave us the Law to keep: he gave us the Law to break! He well knew that we could not keep it.

God asks for men who are totally broken and who will follow Him even to death to work for Him.
