"There is in the heart of man a deep-rooted covetousness, a subtle worldly spirit, suggesting diabolical, murderous thoughts for its own end."
"If God did not take us to Himself, few would go to Him of their own accord."
"'Why callest thou Me good?', said Jesus the Christ (Read Matthew 19:17, Mark 10:18, Luke 18:19) O Man! Why callest thou thyself good?"

| Re: | | "It is a very desirable thing for a physician to be thoroughly studied in his art; and to be able to see the reason of his practice, and to resolve such difficult controversies as are before him. But if he had the charge of the hospital, or lived in a city where the pestilence was raging, if he would be studying fermentation, the circulation of the blood, blisters and the like, and such like excellent points, when he should be visiting his patients, and saving men's lives; if he should even turn them away, and let them perish, and tell them he has no time to give them advice, because he must follow his own studies, I would consider that man as a most preposterous student, who preferred the remote means before the end itself of his studies: indeed, I would think him but a civil kind of murderer." - Richard Baxter (Excerpt from his book, 'The Reformed Pastor'; reprint edt 2007; Banner Of Truth Trust; page 213) _________________ Richie

Online! | Re: | | "The reason we stop seeking is because we don’t understand the process. You seek a while and God empties you. You wanted to get filled with good feelings, and you don’t get them. The fight starts. Prayer is a fight, and unless your heart is perfect toward God, and you view the objective, and you see the promise afar off, and you’re persuaded of it, and you’re going to set your faith unto the Lord your God to have the promise, you’re most likely going to quit. That’s why He tells us to “work out our salvation with fear and trembling.”...Would you like to be “rooted and grounded in love”? Well, then, you can’t be a snob anymore. You can’t judge people anymore like you have been doing. You can’t show the cold shoulder to anybody. You cannot exercise your own opinions anymore. Oh, these views, these opinions! How quickly we judge somebody else, and we’re satisfied to do that and to keep a heart that is divided toward God! But to let Jesus Christ reign is a very different matter. I ought to see to it with fear and trembling that Jesus takes “his great power and reigns.” - Hans R. Waldvogel
