The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a man took and sowed in his field. It is the smallest of all seeds, but when it has grown it is larger than all the garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches. Matt 13:31-32

The Christian: “Though sin lives in him, yet he doth not live in sin.” —Thomas Brooks
The most serious error of the current “prophetic” teaching of today is the claim that the future of Christendom is to be read not in terms of Revival and Victory, but of growing impotence and apostasy. —Oswald T. Allis, Forward to Campbell’s Israel and the New Covenant
Never entertain any hard thoughts of God, as if he were like those men who say they forgive with all their hearts, and yet retain their secret hate and inward malice as much as ever. —Puritan Thomas Brooks, Works 5:65
Forgiveness makes not a Christian bold with sin, but fearful of sin, and careful to obey, as Christians find in their daily experience. —Puritan Thomas Brooks, Works 5:63
Satan is a liar! He wants you to feel innocent when you are guilty, and to feel guilty when you are justified in Christ!
The secret of being holy ourselves is to know and feel that Christ has pardoned our sins. —JC Ryle, Daily Readings: Luke 7:36-50
