The Church Is a Hospital

The Church of Christ is a very hospital of backsliding Christians, who meant honestly, in the joy of their first love, to live wholly for God, and who gradually sank down into a life of formality and feebleness. There is nothing the Church needs more than the preaching of daily diligence and perseverance as the indispensable condition of growth and strength.

The Most Sobering Reality in the World Today

Christians need to be reminded of the terrible doom hanging over the world, and of all the solemn eternal realities connected with our Lord’s coming in their bearing upon our daily life. So will our efforts for helping and saving others all be under the power of the thought of how short the time is, how terrible the fate of those who perish, and how urgent the call for everyone who knows redeeming love to do its work with all his might.

Andrew Murray, The Holiest of All, pp. 399-400
