Carnal Christianity?

‎"If I see aright, the cross of popular evangelicalism is not the cross of the New Testament. It is, rather, a new bright ornament upon the bosom of a self-assured and carnal Christianity. The old cross slew men, the new cross entertains them. The old cross condemned; the new cross amuses. The old cross destroyed confidence in the flesh; the new cross encourages it." ~ A. W. Tozer

Battle Ground

There is no neutral ground in the universe; every square inch, every split second is claimed by God and counterclaimed by Satan. ~ C. S. Lewis

10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints. ~ Ephesians 6:10-18 (NIV 1984)

Sin of Unforgiveness

‎"It doesn’t matter how up-to-date you are in new revelations from the many seminars and Bible schools you’ve attended or how many books you’ve read or even how many hours you pray and study. If you are offended and in unforgiveness and refuse to repent of this sin, you have not come to the knowledge of the truth. You are deceived, and you confuse others with your hypocritical lifestyle. No matter what the revelation, your fruit tells a different story. You’ll become a spring spewing out bitter waters that will bring deception, not truth. "~ John Bevere (Bait of Satan)

Do You Understand the Urgency?

‎"If we understand what lies ahead for those who do not know Christ, there will be a sense of urgency in our witness." ~ David Jeremiah

Only God...

‎"The moment you come to realize that only God can make a man godly, you are left with no option but to find God, and to know God, and to let God be God in and through you." ~ Major Ian Thomas

Trump Card ... Love

"When we allow God's love to trump our anger, we are able to experience RESTORATION in relationships." ~ Gwen Smith

I'm an Alien

“I must keep alive in myself the desire for my true country, which I shall not find till after death; I must never let it get snowed under or turned aside; I must make it the main object of life to press on to that other country and to help others to do the same.” ~ C. S. Lewis

“If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God” ~ Colossians 3:1 (ESV)

Commit it All

"Commit to Him the past; He can blot out its guilt and torment. Commit the present with its shortcomings and human weakness. Commit the future with its threats of evil. You are turning them over to understanding sympathy, to loving willingness, to power unlimited, to infinite wisdom." ~ Bertha Munro

Prepare Your Children

‎"Many parents are working hard to prepare the path for their children. Wise parents are working hard to prepare their children for the path. You cannot control the path, but you can prepare the child." ~ Cary Schmidt

Pray Together

"Because prayer is intimacy with God, a natural by-product of praying together is intimacy with each other." ~ Stormie Omartian

Who Do You Dress for?

As Thomas Watson says in the quote below, "Many dress themselves in such fashions as to make the devil fall in love with them." It should be our desire as Christian women (and men) to dress in a way that would please our heavenly Father. Perhaps, when we dress we should stop and look in the mirror and ask ourselves, "Am I pleasing God or seducing the devil?" ~ Mary Jean Whitney-Dawson

Many dress themselves in such fashions as to make the devil fall in love with them. Dark makeup, gaudy attire, naked breasts, what are these but the flags and banners which pride displays? ~ Thomas Watson (Godly Man's Picture p. 82)

Value for Others

‎"My heart cries out to God, I don't want to be that 'no one'. I want my life to have value for others. I want to comfort and strengthen that which remains, and which is at the point of death. I want to share what I am and what I have." ~ Brother Andrew (God's Smuggler)

Pray With Expectation

"Each time, before you intercede, be quiet first, and worship God in His glory. Think of what He can do and how He delights to hear the prayers of His redeemed people. Think of your place and privilege in Christ, and expect great things!" ~ Andrew Murray

Someone Is Searching

"There is someone who is searching for what you have already found through faith in Jesus Christ." ~ J. K. Warrick
