God, the Great Gardener
The great Master Gardener in his wonderful providence has planted me in this part of his vineyard by his grace, and here I grow and abide till the great Master of the vineyard thinks it fit to transplant me.

Love Grows
Practice love diligently. It is one of those graces, above all, which grows by constant exercise.
Never Be Thirsty Again
Christians must long to draw closer to God. If we are quenching our thirst at forbidden fountains, we have no reason to expect God to be satisfying. If we are not nourished by the bread from heaven, we will satiate ourselves with crumbs from the world. Once we have become addicted to the world’s nourishment, our appetite for God is spoiled.
Erwin Lutzer, Pastor to Pastor (Grand Rapids: Kregel Publications, 1998), 82.
A Christian Can Grow in Grace Anywhere
If you cannot be a Christian where you are, you cannot be a Christian anywhere. It is not place but grace.
Christianity Means a Change, Not Just an Improvement
If we are not changed by grace, then we are not saved by grace.
The Daring Confidence of Faith
Faith is a living, daring confidence in God’s grace, so sure and certain that a man could stake his life on it a thousand times.
Mercy There Was Great, and Grace Was Free
Mercy and grace is not something human; it is not some sort of disposition or quality in the heart. It is a divine blessing.

Salvation Is Free
Salvation is everything for nothing! Christ free! Pardon free! Heaven free!
What Motivates Your Ministry?
Pastor, my prayer for you today is that you will have grace for the successes or failures of yesterday so that you may continue this week by grace, doing the impossible ministry God called you to do.
If we give God service it must be because He gives us grace. We work for Him because He works in us.
Charles Spurgeon (1834 – 1892)
