“Walk more closely with God. Get nearer to Christ. Seek to exchange hope for assurance. Seek to feel the witness of the Spirit more closely and distinctly every year. Lay aside every weight, and the sin that so easily threatens you. Press towards the mark more earnestly. Fight a better fight, and war a better warfare every year you live. Pray more. Read more. Subdue self more. Love the brethren more. Oh that you may endeavor to grow in grace every year, that the end of your Christian course may be better than the beginning!” FeelsYearsMayWarEndsSelfChristianSpiritFightingCoursesGrowsChristSinWalksGracePrayingWeightMarkPressesLaysWitnessEndeavorWarfareAssuranceBrethren Author:J.

“You are not called to believe in your love to God, but in God's love to you! Do not argue, 'I cannot love God! I have striven to my uttermost to do so, but have failed in all my endeavors, until in despair I have abandoned the thought and relinquished the attempt.' Be it so- no effort of your own can strike a spark of love to God from your heart. Nor does God demand the task at your hands. All that He requires of you is faith in His love, as embodied and expressed in Jesus Christ to poor sinners.” BelieveHeartDoeHandsJesusChristPoorEffortDemandDespairJesus ChristTasksStrikesArguingGod LoveSinnerEndeavorSparksAbandonedBelieve In YouHis LoveGod's Love Author:Octavius Winslow
“Christianity without the cross is nothing. The cross was the fitting close of a life of rejection, scorn and defeat. But in no true sense have these things ceased or changed. Jesus is still He whom man despiseth, and the rejected of men. The world has never admired Jesus, for moral courage is yet needed in every one of its high places by him who would "confess" Christ. The "offense" of the cross, therefore, has led men in all ages to endeavor to be rid of it, and to deny that it is the power of God in the world.” MenWorldStillsAgeJesusChristMoralChristianityChangedNeededCrossesDefeatDenyRejectionEndeavorRejectedOffenseScornFittingPower Of GodMoral CourageHigh Places Author:Lord Kelvin
