Our Lord holds the keys to the doors of Christian service. You don't have to chase 'key men' around if you know the Keeper of the keys!
The cross is not the terrible end to an otherwise God-fearing and happy life, but it meets us at the beginning of our communion with Christ. When Christ calls a man, he bids him come and die.
As is the business of tailors to make clothes and cobblers to make shoes, so it is the business of Christians to pray.
The minute the church and pastors start saying what do people want and then giving it to them, we betray our calling. We're called to have people follow Jesus. We're called to have people learn how to forgive their enemies.
Jesus calls us to a holiness that is positive, generous and openhearted. It's a difficult, daring challenge - do we accept it?
Men and Women of Christ magnify their callings without magnifying themselves.
A non-serving Christian is a contradiction in terms.
I think as Christians, we all have the same calling, and that calling is to love God with all our heart, mind, and soul and love others as ourselves and to glorify God in everything that we do.
Ministry in no way is a privilege...it is the core of the Christian life. No Christian is a Christian without being a minister.
The Lord called me to plant a church.
The Christian fact is very straightforward: To be a student is a calling. Your parents are setting up accounts to pay the bills, or you are scraping together your own resources and taking out loans, or a scholarship is making college possible.
We all have the opportunity to share the gospel and we should - that's what we were called to do.
Soul-winning is the chief business of the Christian minister; it should be the main pursuit of every true believer.
Life is about Jesus. We are not here to tell our story, but His.
Sanctification is that inward spiritual work which the Lord Jesus Christ works in a man by the Holy Spirit when He calls him to be a true believer. He not only washes him from his sins in His own blood, but He also separates him from his natural love of sin and the world, puts a new principle in his heart and makes him practically godly in life.
