let the word of truth leading to salvation run over to those never expected.

Immediate fruit may come, for God worketh marvellously, but whether it does or not, your plain duty is to sow. Reap you shall, but meanwhile you must be satisfied to go on sowing, sowing, sowing, even to the end. Reaping is your reward, but sowing is your work.
- Charles Spurgeon

"You will not gain holiness by standing still. Nobody ever grew holy without consenting, desiring, and agonizing to be holy. Sin will grow without sowing, but holiness needs cultivation. Follow it; it will not run after you. You must pursue it with determination, with eagerness, with perseverance, as a hunter pursues his prey."
- Charles Spurgeon

"Repentance is a sweet sorrow, so that the more of this sorrow, the more pleasure." -Jonathan Edwards

"It is better to aim at the impossible than to be content with the inferior." -Mabel Hale

"It may be a very bad thing that I needed God to die for me, but it is a wonderful thing that God thinks I'm worth dying for."
-Lewis Smedes

"Resolution One: I will live for God. Resolution Two: If no one else does, I still will."
-Jonathan Edwards

"Do you and I really believe that Jesus is so good, so satisfying, and so rewarding that we will leave all we have and all we own and all we are in order to find our fullness in him?" -David Platt


"To be right with God has often meant to be in
trouble with men." ~A.W. Tozer

"Better to love God and die unknown than to love the world and be a hero; better to be content with poverty than to die a slave to wealth; better to have taken some risks and lost than to have done nothing and succeeded at it." -Erwin Lutzer
