Our Salvation is not so easy that a caveman can do it. Our salvation is so difficult that only God can do it! Paul Washer
Does this world satisfy thee? Then thou has thou reward and portion in this life. Make much of it, for thou shalt know no other joy. Martin Luther
"Lord I submit to my sentence, and if you bid me to be punished, I can't complain because I deserve it, but for Christ's sake, for His blood's sake, have mercy upon me." Charles Spurgeon
"The first step towards being really good, is to feel bad. The first preparation for heaven, is to know that we deserve nothing but hell. Before we can be counted righteous we must know ourselves to be miserable sinners. Before we can have inward happiness and peace with God, we must learn to be ashamed and confounded because of our manifold transgressions. Before we can rejoice in a well-grounded hope, we must be taught to say, “Unclean! unclean! God, be merciful to me a sinner!” Charles Spurgeon
I don’t care how strong your religion is, or how strong your church life is, I don’t care how strong your morality is. On that day of judgment God will tear it down and it will wilt. Whenever humans declare themselves to be righteous they are doing it by contrasting themselves with other humans who are worse. And you can get away with that, but when your righteousness is contrasted with the righteousness of God there is nothing but to throw yourself down and declare your morality to be dung. Paul Washer
