Quotes

“We progress in spiritual produce as we practice what has been provided.”

Matthew 7:24 : “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock.”

Nancy Guthrie: “Many people think a Christian is someone who believes in God and tries to be good, or someone who lives by the Ten Commandments or the Sermon on the Mount (as if anyone could!). But what we and our children must understand is that a Christian is a person who recognizes that he or she is a sinner deserving nothing less than the terrifying judgment of God and who takes refuge only in the blood of the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ.”

Dane Ortlund: “The final conclusion, the deepest secret, to growing in Christ is this: look to Him. Set your gaze upon Him. Abide in Him, hour by hour. Draw strength from His love.”
