“Dr. Bonar once said that he could tell when a Christian was growing. In
proportion to his growth in grace he would elevate his Master, talk less of what
he himself was doing, and become smaller and smaller in his own esteem, until,
like the morning star, he faded away before the rising sun.”
~ D.L. Moody
Like coals without fire, we are useless. As an offering without the sacrificial flame, we are unaccepted
“Christ is not a reservoir but a spring. His life is continual, active and ever passing on with an outflow as necessary as its inflow. If we do not perpetually draw the fresh supply from the living Fountain, we shall either grow stagnant or empty, It is, therefore, not so much a perpetual fullness as a perpetual filling”
– A.B. Simpson
The longer you delay, the more your sin gets strength and rooting. If you cannot bend a twig, how will you be able to bend it when it is a tree?

“My desire is to live more to God to-day than yesterday, and to be more holy this hour than the last”

“It is wondrous how, the truer we become, the more unerringly we know the ring of truth, can discern whether a man be true or not, and can fasten at once upon the rising lie in word and look and dissembling act – wondrous how the charity of Christ in the heart perceives every aberration from charity in others, in ungentle thought or slanderous tone.”
