Wisdom of the Ages

“If we do not die to ourselves, we cannot live to God,
and he that does not live to God, is dead.”
– George MacDonald

“If we do not die to ourselves, we cannot live to God,
and he that does not live to God, is dead.”

“The root of all steadfastness is in consecration to God.”
Alexander MacLaren
“Remembering without ceasing your work of faith,
and labour of love, and patience (steadfastness) of hope
in our Lord Jesus Christ”
1 Thessalonians 1:3

“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
“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

“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
