It is easier to cry against one-thousand sins of others than to kill one of your own.

There is no pride so dangerous, none so subtle and insidious, as the pride of holiness.

Beware of self-righteousness in every possible shape and form. Some people get as much harm from their “virtues” as others do from their sins.

Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.

1 Peter 5:7

@JCRyle Why go to a church that practices falshood/s, ex. Those who submit under an "apostle"/"prophet", practice pagan traditions & say its honouring God, shrink back to Moses (the dead husband/old covenant, Rom 7, Heb 4, Heb 10, Gal etc)? Rather watch out! Phil 3:1-2, 2 Cor 11, Rev 22.

We go through trials in this life. We are not always on the mountaintop, sometimes we are in the valley. But God is always good.

He uses our trials for our good and His glory.

Where ever you are today, keep your eyes on Jesus.💖

25Now there are also many other things that Jesus did. Were every one of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written. - John 21: 25

30Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; 31but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name. - John 20: 30-31

The best prayer I ever prayed had enough sin to damn the whole world.

Do not rush simply because you feel pressure to move.

There are seasons when the wisest obedience is to wait before the Lord, pray, search His Word, and refuse to act from fear, panic, pride, or impatience. Confusion is a dangerous place from which to make decisions.

“Wait for the LORD; be strong and let your heart take courage; yes, wait for the LORD” (Psalm 27:14).

Waiting on God is not laziness. It is faith refusing to run ahead of His providence. It is the soul saying, “I will not force a door open just because silence makes me uncomfortable.”

“The mind of man plans his way, but the LORD directs his steps” (Proverbs 16:9).

When the Lord requires action, He is able to make the path plain. He may do it through His Word, wise counsel, providence, conviction, or necessary duty. But He will not honour decisions made in rebellion, haste, or unbelief.

“Trust in the LORD with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight” (Proverbs 3:5-6).

So do not confuse waiting with weakness. Sometimes standing still before God requires more faith than moving quickly. Better to wait under His hand than to run ahead and ask Him to bless what He never commanded.

“He who believes in it will not be disturbed” (Isaiah 28:16).

[Jeremiah Knight @iamrjknight]

Many older believers can look back and say with sorrow, “I wish I had not wasted my early years. I wish I had not fed sins that later became chains. I wish I had not planted habits that took years of pain to uproot.”

That is why the young must listen while mercy is still calling. Youth feels strong, but it is not permanent. The desires that seem harmless today can become masters tomorrow. The sins that look small in the beginning can shape the whole direction of a life.

“Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come and the years draw near when you will say, ‘I have no delight in them’” (Ecclesiastes 12:1).

Do not give your best strength to the flesh and then bring God the leftovers of a tired life. Do not sow rebellion in the morning and expect peace in the evening. God is not mocked. The harvest will answer the seed.

“Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap” (Galatians 6:7).

Many think repentance can be delayed, holiness can be postponed, and Christ can be sought later. That is dangerous foolishness. Hell will be filled with people who knew the truth too late. Wisdom is not merely knowing what is right. Wisdom is turning before the heart becomes harder.

“Flee from youthful lusts and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace” (2 Timothy 2:22).

Young men, do not waste the springtime of life on sins that will not comfort you in old age, sickness, loss, or death. Break up the hard ground now. Turn to Christ now. Sow righteousness now. Seek the Lord while the heart can still feel conviction and the conscience can still tremble.

“Sow with a view to righteousness, reap in accordance with kindness; break up your fallow ground, for it is time to seek the LORD” (Hosea 10:12).

[Jeremiah Knight @iamrjknight]

The evidence of true faith is not that a man never falls. It is that he no longer walks comfortably in the same old road of sin.

A believer is not known by flawless performance, but by a heart that has been made alive to God. He grieves over sin. He runs to Christ. He desires holiness. He may stumble, but he cannot settle down in rebellion as though Christ has no claim over him.

“By this we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments” (1 John 2:3).

This is where many deceive themselves. They think a past prayer, a religious memory, or a Christian label is enough, while their lives show no repentance, no hunger for righteousness, and no love for the Lord. Scripture does not give comfort to that kind of empty profession.

“Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come” (2 Corinthians 5:17).

The true Christian still fights weakness, temptation, and remaining sin, but there is now a war inside him that was not there before. He does not make peace with what nailed his Saviour to the cross.

“For if you are living according to the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live” (Romans 8:13).

So the question is not, “Am I perfect?” The question is, “Has God changed my heart, turned me toward Christ, and begun a work in me that I could never produce myself?”

“He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus” (Philippians 1:6).

What an incredible moment when one is enabled to see that the new covenant has two commandments (Matt 22: 36 - 40). "For instance, a married woman is bound by law to her husband as long as he lives. But if her husband dies, she is released from the law of marriage (Rom 7: 2).
