If you don't take your stand for Christ, you will be on the wrong side, and someday when it is too late, you'll cry out, "I've taken the wrong stand!" You'll be in the devil's trap! You can't lick the devil.

The devil is alive and kicking. But if you are in Christ and follow the rules of daily Bible study, prayer, and witnessing, he has no power over you.

Man is precisely what the Bible says he is. Human nature is behaving exactly as the Bible said it would. The course of human events is flowing just as Christ predicted.

So when you sense a still, small voice in your soul—and you have or you will—it is the Holy Spirit of God telling you that you're not right with Him. Do not ignore the Voice. God is drawing you by His love—don't pull away. When you quench the fire of conviction, you have rejected the Holy Spirit. So when you feel that tug, do not resist. Take hold of the living Christ, who will come and dwell in you.

How often do you cave in to the pressures of the crowd, seeking the approval of others instead of the approval of God? We all like to be liked—but that can be a very dangerous thing. Make it your goal to live for Christ and be faithful to Him, regardless of what the crowd demands.

One-third of Matthew . . . one-third of Mark . . . one-fourth of Luke, and one-half of John are given to [Christ's] death . . .Jesus came for the express purpose of dying for sinners. When He left heaven, He knew He was going to the cross.

Some people think that going to church on Sunday and owning a dust-covered Bible makes a person a Christian. That is not true. A Christian is one in whom Christ dwells, and the person's life will give evidence of this.

Do others see something of Christ in your life? Do they see a "family resemblance" to Him by the way you live?

Christ said there is a happiness in that acknowledgement of spiritual poverty which lets God come into our souls.

Some people have said that man has improved . . . [and] that if Christ came back today, He would not be crucified but would be given a glorious reception. Christ does come to us every day in the form of Bibles that we do not read, in the form of churches that we do not attend, in the form of human need that we pass by. I am convinced that if Christ came back today, He would be crucified more quickly than He was two thousand years ago. Sin never improves. Human nature has not changed.

When the Christian or the church becomes popular with the unbelieving world, something is seriously wrong. Because Christ runs counter to evil and because we are Christ-owned, we must also stand against evil.

Whatever is unlike Christ in conduct, speech, or disposition grieves the Spirit of grace.
