"Doctrine matters. What you believe about God, the gospel, the nature of man, and every major truth addressed in Scripture filters down to every area of your life. You and I will never rise above our view of God and our understanding of His Word." -John MacArthur

1 Peter 3:10 For He who would love life and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking deceit.

What leper, when he has been healed, turns again and desires to have his leprosy back? You have put off your transgressions in Baptism....forsake them!

-- St.Ephraem the Syrian

As soon as you are washed in Christ’s blood and clothed in His righteousness, you must begin to hew your way through a lane of enemies, right up to the eternal throne. Every foot of the way will be disputed; not an inch will Satan yield to you.-C. H. Spurgeon

Affliction hardens those whom it does not soften.- Spurgeon

Happy New Year! 2 Cor. 5:17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
