QUOTES OF THE WEEK

Someone has said that a Christian is one who lives like Christ. But that is wholly unscriptural. A Christian is not one who is doing something for Christ. A Christian is one for whom Christ has done something wonderful. A Christian is one who has Christ Himself as a Saviour. People are saved, not by what they do for God, but by what God and Christ do for them. - John R. Rice

No one ever lives better than he plans to live, than he undertakes before God to live. One who does not try to do better never does better. One who does not vow to leave sin never leaves it. I am for New Year's Resolutions. I am for holy vows. I am for solemn pledges. - John R. Rice

A man who may leave this world tomorrow and makes no provision for the future could not complain if sensible people call him a fool. People who prepare for meals tomorrow, or for a bed tonight, or for an education next year, and do not prepare for death,  which may come at any moment, surely are guilty of wicked and senseless folly. Oh, because life is so short and death is so sure, be saved today! - John R. Rice

If you do not love the dear Lord Jesus, you are under the curse of God! How terribly God must be grieved over your rejection of His Son! To eat God's food, breathe God's air, live on God's bounty, exist, even, by His mercy, and yet reject His dear Son! Not to love the dear Lord Jesus, the most lovely of all the universe! Not to repent of your sins and receive Him into your heart! Such sin deserves the curse of God and has it. You do not know the Lord Jesus, do not love Him, do not have Him as your own Saviour, are accursed of God. God's wrath mounts up against you. - John R. Rice

A Christian has a sorrow at the death of a loved one, but he also has hope. - Dr. J. Vernon McGee
