Christ died for the ungodly. | Rom 5:6 |𝐒𝐢𝐦𝐮𝐥 𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐬 𝐞𝐭 𝐏𝐞𝐜𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫|

Satan does not often attack a Christian who is living near to God. It is when the Christian departs from his God, becomes spiritually starved, and endeavours to feed on vanities, that the devil discovers his vantage hour.

—Spurgeon

[Simul Justus et Peccator @bondageofwill]

No Christian is safe when his soul is slothful, and his God is far from him. Every Christian is always safe as to the great matter of his standing in Christ, but he is not safe as regards his experience in holiness, and communion with Jesus in this life.

The remarkable thing about fearing God is that when you fear God you fear nothing else, whereas if you do not fear God you fear everything else. “Blessed is every one that feareth the Lord” (Oswald Chambers)

Grace therefore eliminates boasting; it suffocates boasting; it silences any and all negotiations about our contribution before they can even begin. By definition we cannot ‘qualify’ for grace in any way, by any means, or through any action. (Sinclair Ferguson)

There ought to be such an atmosphere in every Christian church, that a man going there and sitting two hours should take the contagion of heaven and carry home a fire to kindle the altar whence he came.
(H. W. Beecher.)

“A good father makes his son ashamed to do wrong, not afraid to confess his faults.”

“A good father is one of the most unsung, unpraised, unnoticed, and yet one of the most valuable assets in our society.”
(Billy Graham)
