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
