You Can Do Nothing!

"Every now and again, Our Lord lets us see what we would be like if it were not for Himself; it is a justification of what He said - "Without Me you can do nothing." That is why the bedrock of Christianity is personal, passionate devotion to the Lord Jesus."

~ Oswald Chambers

Bible Study

Isn't is amazing that almost everyone has an opinion to offer about the Bible, and yet so few have studied it?

What is the Bible?

The Bible is one of the greatest blessings bestowed by God on the children of men. It has God for its Author, salvation for its end, and truth without any mixture for its matter. It is all pure, all sincere; nothing too much; nothing wanting!

What are you interested in?

If we are not interested in the Word of God, can we really be interested in God?

Don't worry about...

Don't worry about what you do not understand... Worry about what you do understand in the Bible but do not live by.

What is the source of your power?

I went to hear Mr. Moody with no other idea than to have something to laugh at. I knew he was no scholar, and I felt sure I could find many flaws in his argument. But I found I could not get at the man. He stood there hiding behind the Bible and just fired one Bible text after another at me till they went home to my heart straight as bullets from a rifle. I tell you, Moody's power is in the way he has his Bible at the tip of his tongue.

Are you educated?

No man is uneducated who knows the Bible, and no one is wise who is ignorant of its teachings.

God's Love

Those who are readiest to trust God without other evidence than His Word always receive the greatest number of visible evidences of His love.

Pliant in His Hands

What God asks is a will which will no longer be divided between Him and any creature, a will pliant in His hands, which neither desires anything nor refuses anything, which wants without reservation everything which He wants, and which never, under any pretext, wants anything which He does not want.

The Pearl

I exhort you and beseech you in the bowels of Christ, faint not, weary not. There is a great necessity of heaven; you must have it. All other things, as houses, lands, children, husband, friends, country, credit, health, wealth, honour, may be let go; but heaven is your one thing necessary, the good part that shall not be taken from you. See that you buy the field where the pearl is. Sell all, and make a purchase of salvation. Think it not easy; for it is a steep ascent to eternal glory; many are lying dead by the way, that were slain with security.

The Spirit of the Times

If the church marries herself to the spirit of the times, she will find herself a widow in the next generation.

What Kind of Example?

It does not matter whether you are a good or bad example of a Christian, to the unsaved your life may be their only example.

85 Percent Faithful

A wife who is 85% faithful to her husband is not faithful at all. There is no such thing as part-time loyalty to Jesus Christ.

What Are You?

You are either a Christian or you are not a Christian; you cannot be partly a Christian. You are either "dead" or "alive"; you are either "born" or "not born".
