a daily dose of Quotes!
I decided rather than a guest post today we would have a guest website … sorta. What better way to celebrate Memorial Day than to think back and remember those things which have affected and shaped us into who we are today; those things, events, and people we treasure the most. In this case, it is turning back to the rich heritage of Christianity that has gone before us, leaving a trail of books, quotes, and examples behind. Read more
Quote 026 :: The Bible
The vigour of our spiritual life will be in exact proportion to the place held by the Bible in our life and thoughts. Read more
Quote 025 :: Need of Holiness
There will be no great Revival until the people of God are deeply
convicted of their need of holiness. Read more
Quote 024 :: Sin
You may see this deceitfulness in the wonderful proneness of men to regard sin as less sinful and dangerous than it is in the sight of God and in their readiness to extenuate it, make excuses for it and minimize its guilt. “It is but a little one! God is merciful!” … Read more
Quote 023 :: War is Declared

The true Christian ideal is not to be happy but to be holy. Read more
Quote 021 :: Humility … where Christ is ALL
Let us study humility. This is the grace with which all must begin, who would be saved. We have no true religion about us, until we cast away our high thoughts, and feel ourselves sinners. This is the grace which all saints may follow after, and which none have any excuse for neglecting. All God’s children have not gifts, or money, or time to work, or a wide sphere of usefulness; but all may be humble. This is the grace, above all, which will appear most beautiful in our latter end. Never shall we feel the need of humility so deeply, as when we lie on our deathbeds, and stand before the judgment-seat of Christ. Our whole lives will then appear a long catalogue of imperfections, ourselves nothing, and Christ all. Read more
