The Fortress of the Heart
The heart is like a castle that is in danger every hour to be assaulted; this makes a child of God to be always a sentinel, and keep a guard about his heart.
Following the Master No Matter the Cost
True Christianity is not about adding Jesus to my life. Instead, it is about devoting myself completely to Him — submitting wholly to His will and seeking to please Him above all else. It demands dying to self and following the Master, no matter the cost. In other words, to be a Christian is to be Christ’s slave.

The Priesthood of the Believer
Everything the believer does — if only he does it as in God’s presence and as a service to God — it is a priestly service, well-pleasing to God. ‘Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God’ (1 Corinthians 10.31). ‘Whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by Him.’ (Colossians 3.17). In this way, all our actions become thank-offerings to God.
Everyone Is a Theologian
All true Christians are God’s theologians, as the saving light of the Gospel has been bestowed upon them all.
True Religion
True religion is a powerful thing… a fervent engagedness of the heart.
One Reason Why Church Membership Is Important
Only if you are part of a community of believers seeking to resemble, serve, and love Jesus will you ever get to know Him and grow into His likeness.
True Love
We are not Christians unless the supreme motive of our lives be the love of the Lord Jesus Christ.
