The easiest way to burn out, give up, and live in constant frustration is to believe you're responsible to make huge progress in a short time.
What a joke! Almost nobody does that.
Why? Because we're men, not gods.
Embrace slow, small, faithful moves in the right direction.

there is something far more dreadful than physical calamity and suffering, namely, moral delinquency and spiritual apostasy. Alas, that this is so rarely perceived today!

Quotes on Eternity
It will take all of eternity to fathom God's love, and those who are saved will never plumb the depths of it.
We live in an age where there is a false glare on the things of time, and a great mist over the things of eternity.Old Paths, 22
It is tragic that we are so negligent about the eternal and are so concerned about that which must inevitably come to an end. It is better to be a cripple in this life, says our Lord, than to lose everything in the next. Put your soul and its eternal destiny before everything else.Studies in the Sermon on the Mount (217)
Let us be firmly persuaded of the reality of this wrath to come- Let us adore and fear the greatness of God, and be moved to turn to Him- Let us consider what it is to die, and what the state of the other world is- Let believers learn highly to value that salvation which Christ obtains for them.

Quotes on Time
Friends lost may be reconciled, an estate lost may be regained, but time lost can never be recalled.
Besides public ordinances, we should give ourselves to spiritual exercises in secret.
All the time we can spare from our necessary, civil, and natural actions should be employed in calling to mind what we have seen, heard, or felt of God.
Avoid trivial pursuits. You are a child of God, destined for glory, and called to do great things in His Name. Do not waste your life on hobbies, sports, and other recreational pursuits. Do not throw away the precious moments of your life on entertainment, movies, and video games. Though some of these things can properly have a 'small place' in the Christian's life, we must be careful not to give undue attention to temporal and fruitless activities. Do not waste your life. Employ the time of your youth in developing the character and skills necessary to be a useful servant of God.
Instead of consuming their leisure hours in vacant idleness, or deriving their chief amusement from boisterous merriment, the recital of tales of superstition, or the chanting of the profane songs of the heathen, they passed their hours of repose in rational and enlivening pursuits; found pleasure in enlarging their religious knowledge, and entertainment in songs that were dedicated to the praise of God.The Antiquities of the Christian Church

Quotes on Conscience
God hath given us three books, which we ought to be studying whilst we are living: the book of conscience, the book of Scripture, and the book of the creature; in the book of conscience we may read ourselves, in the book of the creature we may read God, in the book of Scripture we may read both God and ourselves.
Bee-masters tell us, that they are the best hives which make the greatest noise; so that conscience is the best which makes the greatest noise in daily reasonings and debates before it's own bar.
We must be ready to give up anything and everything for the sake of the principles which we have espoused, and must be ready to offend our best supporters, to alienate our warmest friends, sooner than belie our consciences.Lectures to my Students
A good conscience is one trained by the Holy Spirit through the Word of God. When we understand God's truth clearly and are convicted by it firmly, then the governor of conscience begins to
rule us into righteousness. Mystery of the Holy Spirit (109)

Quotes on Worldliness
Our immoderate love of life and its comforts and conveniences is another cause of sinful fear in times of danger. If we loved our lives less, we would fear and tremble less.Triumphing over Sinful Fear, 42
If friends will not walk in the narrow way with us, we must not walk in the broad way to please them. Health is not infectious but disease is.
Go offer your employer how much you offer God, see how long you last.
That very church which the world likes best is sure to be that which God abhors.

Sanctification and the mortification of our lusts are the hardest part of Christianity. It is, in a manner, as natural for us to leap when we see the new Jerusalem as to laugh when we are tickled. Joy is not under command nor at our nod when it kisseth. But O, how many of us would have Christ divided into two halves, that we might take the half of Him only and take His office—Jesus and salvation! But Lord is a cumbersome word, and to obey and work out our salvation and perfect holiness is the cumbersome and stormy north side of Christ and that which we eschew and shift.
Bad men have their good moods, as good men have their bad moods; a bad man may, under pangs of conscience, a smarting rod, the approaches of death, or the fears of hell, or when he is sermon sick, cry out to the Lord for grace, righteousness, and holiness; but he is the only blessed man that hungers and thirsts after righteousness at all times. Heaven is for that man and that man is for heaven that hungers and thirsts in a right manner after the righteousness of justification and after the righteousness of sanctification.
I often told you that few are saved and many damned. I pray you to make your poor soul sure of salvation and the seeking of heaven your daily task. If you never had a sick night and a pained soul for sin, you have not yet lighted upon Christ. Look to the right marks of having closed with Christ. If you love Him better than the world and would quit all the world for Him, then that saith the work is sound. O, if you saw the beauty of Jesus and smelled the fragrance of His love, you would run through fire and water to be at Him.
Mistaken grace, and somewhat like conversion, which is not conversion, is the saddest and most doleful thing in the world. Make sure of salvation and lay the foundation sure, for many are beguiled. Put a low price upon the world's clay; put a high price upon Christ.
In election we behold God the Father in choosing; in vocation, God the Son teaching; in justification, God the Holy Ghost sealing; in salvation, the whole deity crowning. God chooses of His love, Christ calls by His word, the Spirit seals by His grace. Now the fruit of all this, of God's love choosing, of Christ's word calling, of the Spirit's grace sanctifying is our eternal glory and blessedness in heaven.
Another false rule is providence; providence sits at the helm and disposes of all events and contingencies. But providence is not a rule for the upright man to walk by; we are indeed to observe God's providence: "Whoso is wise…will observe these things" (Ps. 107:43), but we are not to be infallibly led by it. Providence is a Christian's diurnal, not his Bible.
Providence hath a thousand keys to open a thousand sundry doors for the deliverance of His own, when it is even come to a desperate case. Let us be faithful and care for our own part, which is to do and suffer for Him and lay Christ's part on Himself and leave it there.
There is a call, a cry, in every rod of God, in every chastising providence; and therein He makes a declaration of His name, His holiness, His power, His greatness.
God did not consult us in making the world, yet it is well made. Why should we expect then that He should take His measures from us in governing it?
Everyone knows what is most pleasant to him, but God alone knows what is most profitable.
In prosperity, prepare for adversity.
The unsoundness of a vessel is not seen when it is empty, but when it is filled with water, then we shall see whether it will leak or not.
There is a burden of care in getting riches, fear in keeping them, temptations in using them, guilt in abusing them, sorrow in losing them, and a burden of account at last to be given up concerning them.
Outward gains are ordinarily attended with inward losses.
He indeed is rich in grace whose graces are not hindered by his riches.
Prosperity is the nurse of atheism.
