“Godliness consists not in a heart which intends to do the will of God, but in a heart which does it.”
Jonathan Edwards
Avoided
“Whatever I cannot do for God’s glory must be avoided.”
A.W. Pink
Perhaps
“If you’re not worshiping God on Monday the way you did the day before, perhaps you’re not worshiping him at all.”
A.W. Tozer
Mere Decisions
“If all you have is a decision for Christ and no delight in Christ, you don’t have Christ. We are not saved by mere decisions, we are saved by the sovereign work of God, by his Spirit, causing us to be born again which brings into being a new creature who has new affections for God and less affection for the world.”
John Piper
Holiness
“The God whom we worship is holy, the work we are employed in is holy, the place we hope to arrive at is holy; all this calls for holiness.”
Thomas Watson
Private Singing
“The song of our solitude should be full of living joy, And yet, I am afraid there is very little private singing nowadays. We often hear talk concerning private prayer, but very seldom of private praise — and yet ought there not to be as much private praise as private prayer? I take it, from how seldom we talk about it, private thanksgiving has grown to be a sleepy affair.”
Charles Spurgeon
Beholding
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God . . . And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:1-2, 14 (ESV) Continue reading

Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father loves whoever has been born of him. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments.
