More than once Jesus deliberately addressed certain issues that quickly diminished the number of onlookers…it was commitment that thinned the ranks.

The Danger of Not Believing In God
It is often supposed that when people stop believing in God, they believe in nothing. Alas, it is worse than that. When they stop believing in God, they believe in anything.

The Perspective of Eternity
Eternity to the godly is a day that has no sunset; eternity to the wicked is a night that has no sunrise.

The Daily Wardrobe
In heaven we shall appear, not in armour, but in robes of glory. But here these are to be worn night and day; we must walk, work, and sleep in them, or else we are not true soldiers of Christ.

Confidence of the future
I had feelings of fear about the future…The devil kept on whispering, ”It’s all right now, but what about afterward? You are going to be very lonely”….And I turned to my God in a kind of desperation and said “Lord, what can I do? How can I go on to the end?” And He said, “None of them that trust in Me shall be desolate.” That word has been with me ever since.

The Living Doxology
One day all Christians will join in a doxology and sing God’s praises with perfection. But even today, individually and corporately, we are not only to sing the doxology, but to be the doxology.

Faith in Him
The Shepherd does not ask of thee, faith in thy faith, but only faith in Him: and this He meant in saying, ‘Come unto me’. In light or darkness seek to do His will, and leave the work of faith to Jesus still.

A new strength in response to faith
This new strength which God gives in response to faith is graduated to human need. There will be strength for soaring, for a life with wings––elevation, vision, buoyancy. There will be strength for running, the capacity to meet the stress and strain of trying times. There will be strength for walking, for “The humdrum dullness of ordinary days” with their frustrations and irritations––strength to be steady and saintly in the regular round, to keep on keeping on when the sky is gray and the way is monotonous. If we wait on the Lord, we shall be perpetually reinforced from within with a strength graduated to our needs.

A Life of Faith
There is no blessed way of living, than the life of faith upon a covenant-keeping God - to know that we have no care, for he cares for us; that we need have no fear, except to fear him; that we need have no troubles, because we have cast our burdens upon the Lord, and are conscious that he will sustain us.
- C.H. Spurgeon -
Who do you please?
Who a man is is not important; What he knows does not matter but what he is to the inscrutable God is what matters. If we displease God, does it matter whom we please? If please Him, does it matter whom we displease?
