How To Avoid Future Trouble

"To cleave to anything is to grasp it firmly, to hold it tenaciously, and to prefer to be torn In pieces rather than to be torn from it...So let young converts, and even aged saints, cleave unto or continue 'to abide with the Lord'; then they will avoid every by-path." (The Biblical Illustrator)

There’s A New Sheriff In Town

"Every Christian is a living temple of the living God. God dwelt in the Jewish temple, took possession of it, and resided in it, by that glorious cloud that was the token of His presence with that people. So Christ by His Spirit dwells in all true believers. The temple was devoted and consecrated to God, and set apart from every common to a holy use, to the immediate service of God. So all Christians are separated from common uses, and set apart for God and His service." (Matthew Henry)

We Obey God Rather Than Men

"As obedient children. An invariable characteristic of all Christians. The divisions between God's children and the children of this world turns on obedience to God." (The People's New Testament Commentary)

The Way To Experience A Personal Revival

"Let others lift up their souls to vanity, I will dare to be singular, I will lift up my soul to Thee." (The Biblical Illustrator)

Are You Remembering?

"Those who have God for their Savior, Protector, and Guide, have no reason to fear, but may walk through life and through the valley of the shadow of death unmoved by the enemies and dangers that may surround them." (Family Bible Notes)

Not For Love But For Loaves

"They seek Him with their whole heart. They do not seek themselves and their own things, but God only; this is that which they aim at...He is, and will be, the rewarder, the reward, of all those who thus seek Him diligently, seek Him with the heart, for that is it that God looks at and requires; and with the whole heart, for if the heart be divided between Him and the world, it is faulty." (Matthew Henry)

Christians Must Be Seekers

"Men spend years of study in seeking the solution to a mathematical problem, in perfecting a mechanical instrument, or in verifying a scientific discovery. A whole lifetime cannot be better spent than in seeking after God. Such seekers make the grandest discoveries, and confer the greatest blessings on the world." (The Preacher's Homiletic Commentary)

Are You Following God’s Priorities?

"To be transformed into the image of Christ means to increasingly reflect His loving, compassionate character in our behavior. Therefore, if we are not becoming more loving toward others - especially the most helpless of our socity - we have taken a wrong turn somewhere. We have either neglected our relationship with Him or have disobeyed His commands." (Charles Stanley's Life Principles Study Notes)

Pay Attention To Your Tongue

"A man's words are a true index or evidence of his character; and they also react upon that character, and tend to confirm it for good or evil. Should, therefore, a person who has been for many years a member of a Christian Church indulge always, without restraint, in evil speaking; should he be in the habit of soiling his tongue with impure , or malicious, or false, or foolish words; what other conclusion can be drawn about his character than just that he is not a true Christian?" (The Pulpit Commentary)

Only The Doers Get The Blessing

"Many of you do not give the motives and principles of the gospel, which you say you believe, a chance of influencing you, because so interruptedly and spasmodically, and at such long intervals, and for so few moments, do you gaze upon them. Steadfast and continued attention is needful if we are to be 'doers of the work.' " (The Preacher's Homiletic Commentary)
