Any trust, except in God, brings about sin. Future Grace (325)
"If you have faith as small as a mustard seed" (v. 6). Then as now, Christians become aware of the inadequacy of their faith when they are made responsible for leading others. As leaders, they face challenges greater than their faith. They hope for great faith, certainly greater faith than their followers. Surprisingly, Jesus does not require superior spiritual endowments of Christian leaders, even apostles, nor does he offer them such. He promises, rather, to be present in the smallness of their faith. A mustard seed is so small that, held in the palm of one's hand, it appears as a speck of dust, barely visible. The image of the mustard seed is another hyperbole, but the point is clear. Christians, even apostles, are distinguished not by the quantity of faith, but by the employment of faith; not by greatness or smallness of faith, but by acting on faith, even faith the size of a mustard seed.Pillar Commentary, Luke
The Christian's motto should not be 'Let go and let God' but 'Trust God and get going.
Faith is not believing in God; it's believing God.
Expect great things from God. Attempt great things for God.

If your going to take on your self a religion that puts on silver slippers. Just know it's taking you to hell. If your Christianity does not cost you throw it away, it's a lie! Sermon: Is Your View of the Cross Worldly
The tears are in my eyes as I look at you and say, Why will you die? Will you not give your soul a thought? Will you perish through sheer carelessness? Oh, do not do so, but weigh these solemn matters and make sure of eternity! Do not refuse Jesus, His love, His blood, His salvation. All of Grace (150)
Live above the world, and underneath you shall be God's Everlasting Arms.
Lord, help me to begin to begin.
Believe God's word and power more than you believe your own feelings and experiences. Your Rock is Christ, and it is not the Rock which ebbs and flows, but your sea.
Faith means acknowledging that your heart is not good at all, and trusting Christ alone. What is the Gospel?(79)
I sing the wisdom that ordained The sun to rule the day; The moon shines full at His command, And all the stars obey.
Blessings abound wherever He reigns; the prisoner leaps to loose his chains.
Thy word is everlasting truth; How pure is every page! That holy book shall guide our youth, And well support our age.
But lips that dare be so profane To mock, and jeer, and scoff At holy things, or holy men, The Lord shall cut them off.
We can never be too frequent or too solemn in the general surrender of our souls to God
We long to see thy churches full, That all the chosen race May with one voice and heart and soul Sing thy redeeming grace.
Must I be carried to the skies On flow'ry beds of ease, While others fought to win the prize, And sailed through bloody seas?
Let us sing unto the Lord a new song. It is a holy duty to sing praises to God, with understanding and with the heart, for this is a part of the worship of the true God.
There's not a plant or flower below, But makes Thy glories known, And clouds arise, and tempests blow, By order from Thy throne.
The heavens declare Thy glory, Lord, In every star Thy wisdom shines; But when our eyes behold Thy Word, We read Thy Name in fairer lines.
Time, like an ever-rolling stream, Bears all its sons away; They fly forgotten, as a dream Dies at the opening day
