Seeing & savoring Jesus Christ is the most important seeing and savoring you'll ever do.

Basically, there's not a single circumstance, I pray, that can derail me from what Christ is to me and who I am because of Christ.

I believe that, the moment I had a very personal relationship with God and I really knew what his Word said, it was not about religion. It was about knowing that what the Bible tells us is what He has left us. It changed my life. It filled the void in my heart. That is why I am so grateful.

Salvation brings the soul a deep awareness of God's love. Life takes on more meaning, for it now has a purpose.

If a man gave his life to the Lord, then he would have someone to walk through this life with.

Soul of Christ, sanctify me. Body of Christ, save me. Blood of Christ, inebriate me. Water from the side of Christ, wash me. Passion of Christ, strengthen me. O good Jesus, hear me. Within Thy wounds hide me. Permit me not to be separated from Thee. From the wicked foe defend me. At the hour of my death call me. And bid me come to Thee. That with Thy saints I may praise Thee For ever and ever. Amen.

They lose nothing who gain Christ.

To me the gospel is not a great mass of theological jargon. It is a simple and beautiful and logical thing, with one quiet truth following another in orderly sequence. I do not fret over the mysteries. I do not worry whether the heavenly gates swing or slide. I am only concerned that they open.

Christ is worth all, or he is worth nothing.
