Greetings fasters!
As we head into the homestretch I want to encourage you to continuing pressing hard toward God and know that He is pressing hard toward you! Today's scripture reading of James 4:8 hits that on the nail and some! Don't give up!! Below are some quotes for your spirit's:
"Obedience is essential to our sanctification. Faith in Christ is obedience to Christ." -Steven Lawson
"Jesus did not die for our mistakes but for sins, and does not want our excuses but repentance." -Steven Lawson
"No believer can rise above his thought life. Pure thoughts inevitably lead to pure living." -Steven Lawson
"Fear-based repentance makes us hate ourselves. Joy-based repentance makes us hate the sin." -Timothy Keller
"We forge the links of small, compromising actions, and before we know it, a mighty chain is wound around us..." Greg Laurie
"Legalistic remorse says, 'I broke God's rules,' while real repentance says, 'I broke God's heart.' " Timothy Keller
"We must get down to the deepest sin of all—our failure to let Christ rule our lives." -Billy Graham
"If (people) knew the price of sin...they would not be so hot to purchase pleasurable moments at the price of painful years." -C. H. Spurgeon
"True freedom consists not in the freedom to sin but the freedom not to sin." -Billy Graham
"Let the world see our repentance as much as they hear us talk about their sin." -Burk Parsons
"The pursuit of holiness is not a passive 'let go and let God,' but an aggressive 'let's get going and get after it.' " -Steven Lawson
"Deny the world, defy the devil, despise the flesh, and delight yourself only in the Lord." -Lady Jane Grey
"Flee temptation and don't leave a forwarding address. Keep your distance from the things that could drag you down." -Greg Laurie
"We must deal decidedly with our lusts that war against our souls; let us not show them any mercy, but mortify, crucify, & utterly destroy them." -Matthew Henry
Matthew Henry's statement captures the theme of this fast wonderfully. This is the beginning of the end family. Let's not just talk about it but be about it. Let's not just hear it but lets do it. Your destiny is death to self. Instead of running away from it, run to it.
God Bless!
