Holiness
My longing is that the churches may be
holy. I grieve to see so much of worldliness conformity. How often wealth leads
men astray; how many Christians follow the fashion of this wicked world. It is
a shameful thing for a professor of Christianity to be found in those music
halls, saloons and places of revelry where you cannot go without your morals
being polluted
Birds of a feather flocks together.
An unholy church is useless to the Lord
and useless to the world.
You are God’s priests then act like a
priest in the house. You are God’s king, then reign over your lusts. You are
God’s chosen then do not live in sin. You have the Holy Spirit to be Holy.
High calling is a Holy calling from the Holy God to Holiness. (Nick)
The happiest state of the Christian is holiness.
Live in the power of our risen Savior.
The object of our life is God and we must follow Christ to be with God.
Consolation
Consolation is the dropping of a gentle
dew from heaven on desert hearts beneath.
Spiritual Growth
As ye root downward, seek to
grow upward.
forward is heaven! forward is Christ! But
here, to stand still is
danger; nay, it is death.
Heaven
Absence from Christ is hell; but presence
with
Christ is heaven;
In heaven there will be rejoicing, in
hell there will be screaming.
Oh, yes, God is my witness, there are
some of you not
an inch nearer heaven, but ye have sealed
your own damnation doubly sure,
unless ye repent: for ye have heard the
Gospel, ye have despised
prophesyings, ye have rejected the
counsel of God against yourselves; and,
therefore, when you shall die ye must die
pitied by your friends, but at the
same time with your blood on your own
heads.
