I Am Crucified With Christ
I have often talked about the old nature and how it reigned in our lives before salvation. For us to experience victory we must know that we have died to its power as we were identified with Christ in his death. While positionally we are dead to the old nature, experientially we must draw upon that

Finding Your Purpose
“…so that I may finish my race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus…” (Acts 20:24) I read the following paragraph in the devotional book, “My Utmost For His Highest” by Oswald Chambers.

Great Hearts by Great Troubles
This great quote is from Charles Spurgeon in his “Morning By Morning” devotional book: Great hearts can only be made by great troubles. The spade of trouble digs the reservoir of comfort deeper, and makes more room for consolation. God comes into our heart–He finds it full–He begins to break our comforts and to make

Every Day is a Good Day
The other day I came across this quote by Warren Wiersbe: It is encouraging to know that, for those who love God, every day is a good day (Rom. 8:28). It may not look like a good day, or feel like a good day; but when God is working His plan, we can be sure

Triumphant in Christ
Max Lucado, in his book entitled, God Is With You Everyday, had some great insight on the promise that every believer can be triumphant in Christ on a daily basis. Enjoy it! The triumph of Christ is not temporary. “Triumphant in Christ” is not an event or an occasion. It’s not fleeting. To be triumphant in

Powerlessness
The quote below is a good statement on the essence of the gospel and a good reminder to every believer that it is only Christ’s blood that can cleanse us from our sins. -Pastor Byron “At the very heart of the gospel is the realization that I’m powerless to get even the smallest stain of

Spurgeon’s Prayer
Charles Spurgeon, one of the greatest preachers of all time, gives a prayer that I found simply riveting. -Pastor Byron “I have now concentrated all my prayers into one, that I may die to self, and live wholly to Him.”

Obedience
During a Sunday message from Luke 6 we read the words of Jesus calling His disciples to obedience. A quote I wanted to use but time did not permit was this very good quote from Dr. Kent Hughes on obedience: “Every time we truly hear the Word and are authentically moved, we must resolve to
