Open it, read it!

"If you want to understand Christianity, do not shut your Bible—open it, read it! Read the books of Moses, the prophets, the Psalms; they all point to Him. Study your Bible. It is ignorance that blinds men and women of this generation and keeps them outside of Christ. So do not have a hurried service at nine o’clock so you can go out and play golf and bathe in the sea—listen for your life! Here is the only message of hope for you."
~Authentic Christianity by D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones

Nearness to Jesus

"...there will be three effects of nearness to Jesus--humility,
happiness, and holiness." -----Charles Spurgeon

"Give yourself to God,
that out of your service,
whether long or short,
some light may break on people
still in darkness, and some glory come to
Christ our Lord."
