I had a friend on facebook who copied and pasted these quotes from my profile to hers as a way to share with her friends. I have many favorites and thought some of you might like to read my selection of quotes.
Quotations
Repent for Kingdom of God is Near! -Jesus
If you Love me, obey my Commands! -Jesus
I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life, no man comes to the Father but through me! -Jesus
If I had three hundred men who feared nothing but God, hated nothing but sin, and were determined to know nothing among men but Jesus Christ and Him crucified, I would set the world on fire. --John Wesley
There isn't anything quite so chilling, quite so disheartening as a man without the Holy Spirit preaching about the Holy Spirit. -Tozer
The Spirit of God first imparts love; he next inspires hope and then gives liberty; and that is about the last thing we have in many of our churches. -Moody
Don't let scoffers laugh you into hell; they cannot laugh you out of it. -D.L. Moody
Set yourself on fire and people will come just to watch you burn! D.L. Moody
This law tells me how crooked I am. Grace comes along and straightens me out. -D.L. Moody
It is a great deal better to live a holy life than to talk about it. Lighthouses do not ring bells and fire cannon to call attention to their shining-they just shine. -Moody
There may be sin in your life which you will never speak to anyone, but there is no sin for which the Blood of Jesus can't wash away! -Charles Spurgeon
There is no sin for which it is worth your while to be damned. -Spurgeon
Plunge into the "fountain filled with blood, drawn from Immanuel's veins," and in an instant you are whiter than snow. Every speck, spot, and stain of sin is gone, and gone forever. -Spurgeon
Trust Christ and you shall live. The bloody sacrifice of Calvary is the only hope of sinners. -Spurgeon
"If sinners will be damned, at least let
...them leap to Hell over our bodies. And if they will perish, let them
perish with our arms about their knees, imploring them to stay. If Hell
must be filled, at least let it be filled in the teeth of our exertions,
and let not one go their unwarned and unprayed for." - Charles Spurgeon
It is shocking to reflect that a change in the weather has more effect on some men's lives than the dread alternative of heaven or hell. -Spurgeon
True repentance hates the sin, and not merely the penalty; and it hates the sin most of all because it has discovered and felt God's love. -Taylor
Constant complaint is the poorest sort of pay for all the comforts we enjoy. -Franklin
My memory is almost gone, but I remember one thing: that I am a great sinner and Christ is a great Savior. --John Newton, author of "Amazing Grace"
If Socrates would enter the room we should rise and do him honor. But if Jesus Christ came into the room we should fall down on our knees and worship Him. --Napoleon Bonaparte

Are you in Error?
I will sing unto the Lord a new song! I will shout and Praise His Name! Bless the Lord o my soul and all that is within me, Bless His Holy Name! I shall Glory in the Cross of Christ! I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ for it is the Power of God for Salvation to everyone who believes, first to the Jew then for the Gentiles! I Believe! I Believe! I Believe! My Soul cries out with Joy knowing that I am Declared Righteous in the eyes of the Only Holy God, through Faith in the Blood of Jesus shed on the Cross! My Soul rejoices because God assures me of Eternal Life by showing me the Resurrection of His Son!
Now that was my testimony of my Soul as I woke this morning! I want to now share a few thoughts for reflection. Last night I heard a “famous” lady preacher speak about the power of the Resurrection and the audience was moved to cheering! It seemed to me as a hyper emotional event. I must admit speaking about the Resurrection gets the spirit within me jumping! So what was wrong and why am I writing this blog? Simply to point to an error. The lady took a passage out of context by omitting a key component. This is the Passage; Philippians 3:10 I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, 11 and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead.” By omitting the fellowship of sharing in His sufferings she deflated the Power of the Resurrection! Shall we as believers just speak and glory in the resurrection? Did the Apostle Paul, John or Peter? Absolutely NOT! So many Contemporary preachers and churches Proclaim victory in Jesus through the Resurrection without even mentioning the Power of the Cross! Galatians 6:7 “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. 8 The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. 9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. 10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers. 11 See what large letters I use as I write to you with my own hand! 12 Those who want to make a good impression outwardly are trying to compel you to be circumcised. The only reason they do this is to avoid being persecuted for the cross of Christ. 13 Not even those who are circumcised obey the law, yet they want you to be circumcised that they may boast about your flesh.
14 May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.”
So many today fall into the category of verse 12. Trying to make a good impression outwardly by only sharing the resurrection with their hearers and avoiding the persecution that comes from preaching the Cross is a disgusting sin! “The cross is the only ladder high enough to touch Heaven's threshold.” -Boardman “No Cross, No Crown.” --Thomas Fuller “To remember Jesus is to remember first of all his Cross.” -John Knox “Jesus has many lovers of His crown, but few bearers of His cross.” -Spurgeon “Trust Christ and you shall live. The bloody sacrifice of Calvary is the only hope of sinners.” -Spurgeon “Plunge into the "fountain filled with blood, drawn from Immanuel's veins," and in an instant you are whiter than snow. Every speck, spot, and stain of sin is gone, and gone forever.” -Spurgeon
The Resurrection of Christ makes the Soul rejoice and emotions soar, but a soul is dirty and must first pass through the Cleansing Power of the Bloody Cross! Without the Cross of Christ there is no True Resurrection Victory! Let us know the Power of Christ' Resurrection by sharing in His Sufferings!
