Are you praising God more and more? - C.H. Spurgeon

But Christians, the last word is for you. Are you praising God more and more? If you are not, I am afraid of one thing: that you are probably praising Him less and less. It is a certain truth that if we do not go forward in the Christian life, we go backward. You cannot stand still. There is a drift one way or the other.

The Most Likely To Understand God - DL Moody

Those who resemble God are the most likely to understand God. If a man is not willing to turn from sin, he will not know God's will. God will not reveal His secrets to him. But, if a man is willing to turn from sin, he will be surprise to see how the light will come in!

What Is It to Believe On Christ - J.W. Chickering

He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. (John 3:36 KJV)

"What is it to believe on Christ?" It is, to feel your need of him; to believe that he is able and willing to save you, and to save you now; and to cast yourself unreservedly on his mercy, and trust in him alone for your salvation.

J.W. Chickering 1831-1913
