The Christian shoemaker does his duty not by putting little crosses on the shoes, but by making good shoes, because God is interested in good craftsmanship.
— Martin Luther
Christians, Be Holy!
Now, Christians, the more great and glorious things you expect from God, as the downfall of antichrist, the conversion of the Jews, the conquest of the nations to Christ, the breaking of all yokes, the new Jerusalem’s coming down from above, the extraordinary pouring out of the Spirit, and a more general union among all saints, the more holy, yea, the more eminently holy in all your ways and actings it becomes you to be.
— Thomas Brooks
Thou Has This Day
Remember, Christian soul, that thou has this day, and every day of thy life, God to glorify… Jesus to imitate… A soul to save… A body to mortify… Sins to repent of… Virtues to acquire… Hell to avoid… Heaven to gain… Eternity to prepare for… Time to profit by… Neighbors to edify… The world to despise… Devils to combat… Passions to subdue… Death, perhaps, to suffer… Judgment to undergo.
— Augustine of Hippo
Love of the Brethern
Think oft of heaven, and what a thing a saint will be in glory, when he shall shine as the stars, and be equal to the angels, and then you will quickly see cause to love them.
— Richard Baxter
Tears of God’s Children
God sometimes washes the eyes of His children with tears, in order that they may read aright His providence and His commandments.
— Theodore Cuyler
