Wisdom of the Ages – Jacob Boehme

Wisdom of the Ages

Jacob Boehme

“A Christian is he who lives in Christ, and in whom Christ’s power is active. He must feel the divine fire of love burn in his heart. This fire is the Spirit of Christ, who continually crushes the head of the serpent, meaning the desires of the flesh. The flesh is governed by the will of the world; but the spiritual fire in man is kindled by the Spirit. He who wants to become a Christian must not boast and say: ‘I am a Christian!’ but he should desire to become one, and prepare all the conditions necessary that the Christ may live in him. Such a Christian will perhaps be hated and persecuted by the nominal Christians of his time; but he must bear his cross, and thereby he will become strong”
– Jacob Boehme

Quote for Today

Day of Apostasy

“A people who see little have little to declare. When the church is full of uninspired teachers presenting principles rather than His Life and when the people of God are content with hearing from the pulpit rather than hearing God within their own hearts; then we must acknowledge we are living in the Day of Apostasy!”

Brian Troxel

Wisdom of the Ages – FW Robertson

Wisdom of the Ages

FW Robertson

“You reap what you sow — not something else, but that. An act of love makes the soul more loving. A deed of humbleness deepens humbleness. The thing reaped is the very thing sown, multiplied a hundred fold. You have sown a seed of life, you reap life everlasting.”
― F.W. Robertson

“Be not deceived; God is not mocked:
for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap”
Galatians 6:7

that you have the characterization that you are alive,
and yet you are dead”
Revelation 3:1

Wisdom of the Ages – Jonathan Edwards

Wisdom of the Ages

Johnathan Edwards

“True boldness for Christ transcends all, it is indifference to the displeasure of either friends or foes. Boldness enables Christians to forsake all rather than Christ, and to prefer to offend all rather than to offend Him”
– Jonathan Edwards

“…let us have grace,
whereby we may serve God acceptably
with reverence and godly fear”
Hebrews 12:28
