Living the Christian Life

Too often there is no difference between Christians and unbelievers. Here are some quotes that ascertain what it means to be a follower of Christ:
"To be right with God has often meant to be in trouble with men." - A.W. Tozer

"If your faith does not make you pray, have nothing to do with it: get rid of it, and God help thee to begin again." - Charles Spurgeon

"To bear the cross means that you refrain from doing what you have the power to do. You are qualified to fulfill your desire, yet you refrain from doing so. A person like this is the strongest person. The strongest person is not the one who is able to do something, but the one who is able not to do what he has the power to do." - Watchman Nee

"If you are under the dominion of sin, you are yet an utter stranger to the salvation of God." - Catherine Booth

"The popular gospel of this day, is the laughing-stock of Hell; it dare neither damn the sinner, nor sanctify the saint." - Catherine Booth

"Discernment is not knowing the difference between right and wrong. It is knowing the difference between right and almost right." - Charles H. Spurgeon
Hell and the Lake of Fire motivate us to witness to unbelievers but it is the love of God that compels us to share the Gospel with those who are on the brink of eternal separation from God and torment beyond measure:
"Some want to live within the sound of church or chapel bell; I want to run a rescue shop within a yard of hell."  - C.T. Studd

"Hell is a lesson learned too late." - Unknown
