The Puritans believed that without perseverance in the obedience of faith the result would be eternal destruction, not lesser sanctification. Therefore, since preaching and the pastoral ministry in general are a great means to the saints’ perseverance, the goal of a pastor is not merely to edify the saints but to save the saints. What is at stake on Sunday morning is not merely the upbuilding of the church but its eternal salvation. It is not hard to see why the Puritans were so serious.

"YOUR BEST QUOTES" - Part 1

Some great quotes were posted last week on our website by readers.
-Take a look below-

"To be right with God, has often meant to be in trouble with men."
-A.W. Tozer

“Some want to live within the sound of church or chapel bell; I want
to run a rescue shop within a yard of hell.” - C. T. Studd

“If your faith does not make you pray, have nothing to do with it:
get rid of it, and God help thee to begin again.” ~ Charles Spurgeon

"To bear the cross means that you refrain from doing what you have
the power to do. You are qualified to fulfill your desire, yet you refrain
from doing so. A person like this is the strongest person. The
strongest person is not the one who is able to do something, but
the one who is able not to do what he has the power to do."
~ Watchman Nee

“If you are under the dominion of sin, you are yet an utter stranger
to the salvation of God.” - Catherine Booth

“The popular gospel of this day, is the laughing-stock of Hell; it
dare neither damn the sinner, nor sanctify the saint.” - Catherine Booth

”Discernment is not knowing the difference between right and wrong.
It is knowing the difference between right and almost right.”
– Charles H. Spurgeon

“Hell is a lesson learned too late” - Anon.
