Charles H. Spurgeon
We must keep from sin. If Christ has indeed saved us from sin, we cannot bear the thought of falling into it. Those who take delight in sin are not the children of God. If you are a child of God, you hate it with a perfect hatred, and your very soul loathes it.
Charles H. Spurgeon
Charles H. Spurgeon
The Christian life is very much like climbing a hill of ice. You cannot slide up. You have to cut every step with an ice axe. Only with incessant labor in cutting and chipping can you make any progress. If you want to know how to backslide, leave off going forward. Cease going upward and you will go downward of necessity. You can never stand still.
Charles H. Spurgeon
Bruce Barton
The church at Ephesus faced a culture characterized by immorality. We, too, live in a culture tolerant of sexual immorality. It is popular to be open-minded to many types of sin, calling them personal choices or alternative lifestyles. But when the body of believers begins to tolerate sin in the church, it is lowering the church’s standards and compromising its witness. Remember that God’s approval is infinitely more important than the world’s. Use God’s Word, not what people around you are willing to accept, to set the standards for what is right or wrong.

John MacArthur, The Glory of Heaven, 1996, page 68.
Scripture repeatedly makes clear that heaven is a realm of unsurpassed joy, unfading glory, undiminished bliss, unlimited delights, and unending pleasures. Nothing about it can possibly be boring or humdrum. It will be a perfect existence. We will have unbroken fellowship with all heaven’s inhabitants. Life there will be devoid of any sorrows, cares, tear, fears, or pain.
John MacArthur, The Glory of Heaven, 1996, page 68.

As sinful commissions will stab the soul; so sinful omissions will starve the soul.
Thomas Brooks
Jonathan Edwards
Some are greatly affected when in company; but have nothing that bears any manner of proportion to it in secret, in close meditation, prayer and conversing with God when alone, and separated from the world. A true Christian doubtless delights in religious fellowship and Christian conversation, and finds much to affect his heart in it; but he also delights at times to retire from all mankind, to converse with God in solitude. And this also has peculiar advantages for fixing his heart, and engaging his affections. True religion disposes persons to be much alone in solitary places for holy meditation and prayer… It is the nature of true grace, however it loves Christian society in its place, in a peculiar manner to delight in retirement, and secret converse with God.
Jonathan Edwards
L'endurance vient du fait que l'on minimise l'excès de bagages et que l'on maximise les efforts pour atteindre les objectifs de combat de Dieu.
Jerry Wragg
Endurance comes from minimizing excess baggage and maximizing efforts to achieve God’s battle objectives.
Jerry Wragg
La Bible est un miroir pour nous montrer nos péchés ; et le sang de Christ est une fontaine pour les nettoyer.
Thomas Watson
John Piper
There are four reasons we can be absolutely sure that the mission of God will triumph in the world. First, the word of Jesus is more sure than the heavens and the earth (Matthew 24:35). Second, the ransom has already been paid for all God’s elect, and God did not spill the blood of his Son in vain (Revelation 5:9). Third, the glory of God is at stake and in the end he will not share his glory with another (Isaiah 48:9-11). Fourth, God is sovereign and can do all things and no purpose of his can be thwarted (Job 42:2).
John Piper
Donald S. Whitney, Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life, 1991, p. 79.
It may be, remember, that God has indeed answered but not in a way that is obvious to us. And it is possible that nothing is amiss in our praying, but that we haven’t yet seen the answer only because God intends for us to persevere in praying about the matter awhile longer. But we must also learn to examine our prayers. Are we asking for things that are outside the will of God or would not glorify Him? Are we praying with selfish motives? Are we failing to deal with the kind of blatant sin that causes God to put all our prayers on hold?
Donald S. Whitney, Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life, 1991, p. 79.
L'église visible peut être affreusement et douloureusement fracturée et fragmentée en toutes sortes de dénominations et de groupes, mais l'église invisible est le véritable corps du Christ. Tous ceux qui sont en Christ, et en qui Christ habite, sont membres de cette seule église universelle.
R.C. Sproul, The Purpose of God, An Exposition of Ephesians, Christian Focus Publications, 1994, p. 99.
The visible church may be distressingly and sorely fractured and fragmented into all different kinds of denominations and groups, but the invisible church is the true body of Christ. Everyone who is in Christ, and in whom Christ dwells, is a member of this one universal church.

Dennis Rainey, Preparing for Marriage, 1997, p. 195, 198.
God owns it all and [you] are stewards of His resources… Because you are stewards of the resources God has entrusted to you, every financial decision you make is actually a spiritual decision. For many, that’s a revolutionary concept. How you manage your finances is a pretty good barometer for the condition of your spiritual life.
Dennis Rainey, Preparing for Marriage, 1997, p. 195, 198.
Erwin Lutzer, One Minute After You Die by Erwin Lutzer, Moody Publishers, 1997, p. 121.
Those who choose suicide (for whatever reason) should remember that death is not the end, but a doorway into an eternal existence. Sad to say, some who find the pain of dying intolerable will awaken in a realm that is even more terrible than earth could ever be. We should welcome death from the hand of God, but not force the hand that brings it.
Erwin Lutzer, One Minute After You Die by Erwin Lutzer, Moody Publishers, 1997, p. 121.
Gene Edward Veith
One of the greatest paradoxes in Christian history is that the church is most pure in times of cultural hostility. When things are easy and good, that is when the church most often goes astray. When Christianity seems identical with the culture and even when the church seems to be enjoying its greatest earthly success, then it is weakest. Conversely, when the church encounters hardship, persecution, and suffering…then it is closest to its crucified Lord, then there are fewer hypocrites and nominal believers among its members, and then the faith of Christians burns most intensely.
Gene Edward Veith
Obtiens de l'argent pour vivre ; puis vis et utilise-le, sinon il n'est pas vrai que tu l'as obtenu. C'est l'usage seul qui rend l'argent non méprisable.
George Herbert, poète et prêtre
Get money to live; then live and use it, else it is not true that thou hast gotten. Surely use alone makes money not contemptible.
George Herbert, Poet and Priest
Donald S. Whitney
If we measure particular aspects of our disciplines in order to simplify our spiritual lives or to hold ourselves accountable to certain goals, then there may be real benefits. So a person might try to read a given number of chapters in the Bible daily in order to avoid deciding every single day how much to read, and/or to keep pace for reading through the Bible in a year. Not even the most rigorous practice of the spiritual disciplines is legalistic when the motives of our spirituality are what they should be, namely to do all to the glory of God and to pursue Christlikeness.

No matter where it ends, sin always begins when an evil thought is sown in the mind and heart.
