The main reason why men dote upon the world, and damn their souls to get the world, is, because they are not acquainted with a greater glory!Precious Remedies Against Satan's Devices
Oh, you who want unfailing comfort, I commend you to Christ! In Him alone there is no failure. Rich men are disappointed in their treasures. Learned men are disappointed in their books. Husbands are disappointed in their wives. Wives are disappointed in their husbands. Parents are disappointed in their children. Statesmen are disappointed when, after many a struggle, they attain place and power. They find out, to their cost, that it is more pain than pleasure-that it is disappointment, annoyance, incessant trouble, worry, vanity, and vexation of spirit. But no man was ever disappointed in Christ. Holiness (Chapter 20)
Prayers and supplications, earnest prayers out of affection, should be poured out even for them that cannot or do not pray for themselves.

If your heart takes more pleasure in reading novels, or watching TV, or going to the movies, or talking to friends, rather than just sitting alone with God and embracing Him, sharing His cares and His burdens, weeping and rejoicing with Him, then how are you going to handle forever and ever in His presence? You'd be bored to tears in heaven, if you're not ecstatic about God now!
Large numbers of Americans...profess belief in God but live like atheists.
Many of us have become wordly. You think that wordly means that you say certain words. Wordly means that you sometimes don't have courage. That sometimes you don't speak truthfully. Wordliness is saying well someone was offended and we need to apologize. Maybe they should have been offended. We worship a guy who got murdered. Sermon - Christ Controversy and Cutting words
