“To see Christ face to face, to be with Him in unbroken fellowship, and to be like Him—this is the threefold destiny of every Christian soul. But how little can we imagine our future life! We strive to penetrate the dense veil of mist in vain—what the resurrection body will be like; what the converse with holy beings will amount to; what ministry may be assigned to us—we know not what we shall be, but "we know that we shall be like Him"—and it is enough! All that we have ever dreamed and hoped for will find its flower and fruitage in that glad summer time.” ---F. B. Meyer

"The true expression of Christian character is not in good-doing, but in God-likeness. If the Spirit of God has transformed you within, you will exhibit divine characteristics in your life, not just good human characteristics. God’s life in us expresses itself as God’s life, not as human life trying to be godly. The secret of a Christian’s life is that the supernatural becomes natural in him as a result of the grace of God, and the experience of this becomes evident in the practical, everyday details of life, not in times of intimate fellowship with God. And when we come in contact with things that create confusion and a flurry of activity, we find to our own amazement that we have the power to stay wonderfully poised even in the center of it all." ---Oswald Chambers

"The greatest enemy to fruitfulness in my life is my own way.  If I let Christ purge me and cleanse me so that I am wholly his, then the Spirit can begin to shape my life so it conforms to his master design." ---Dennis Kinlaw in This Day With the Master

"Countless generations have come and gone, each leaving a precious deposit of memories and achievements.  The progress of civilization depends upon each of us doing what we can to make life better for our heirs.  We are stewards of the past with the opportunity add to our rich heritage." ---Walter Albritton in Life is Short So Laugh Often, Live Fully and Love Deeply






"Let me think and speak as a little child!  Let my religion be plain, artless, simple!  Meekness, temperance, patience, faith, and love, be these my highest gifts: And let the highest words wherein I teach them, be those I learn from the book of God!" ---John Wesley, Sunday, December 30, 1739
