Mother

ƸӜƷ  Did any of you, parents, ever hear your child wake from sleep with some panic fear and shriek the mother's name through the darkness? Was not that a more powerful appeal than all words? And, depend upon it, that the soul which cries aloud on God, "the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ," though it have "no language but a cry," will never call in vain.
[Alexander MacLaren]
 
 
 
ƸӜƷ  Only God Himself fully appreciates the influence of a Christian mother in the molding of character in her children.
[Billy Graham]
 
 
ƸӜƷ  I don't believe there are devils enough in hell to pull a boy out of the arms of a godly mother.
[Billy Sunday]
 
 
ƸӜƷ  The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother.
[Henry Ward Beecher]
 
 
ƸӜƷ  The impression that a praying mother leaves upon her children is life-long.
[D.L. Moody]
 

ƸӜƷ  Ladies, [motherhood] is a full-time job. Do not kid yourself that you can be a dental receptionist and a mother; that you can be a typist and a mom; that you can be a Vice President and a mom. One of the two things will win. Now look at your Bible and ask what you have to do.
[Alistair Begg]


ƸӜƷ  My mother was the most beautiful woman I ever saw. All I am I owe to my mother. I attribute all my success in life to the moral, intellectual and physical education I received from her.
[Georg Washington]


Titus 2:1-5 ... But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine: That the aged men be sober, grave, temperate, sound in faith, in charity, in patience.  The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;  That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,  To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.

Full Time Christian

We cannot be part-time Christians. We are all in full-time Christian service, or we should be.  A man who is faithful to his wife most of the time is not faithful at all.  A man who is a Christian and something else is not a Christian. The friend of the world is the enemy of God. Billy Sunday used to say,  “There is no such thing as a worldly Christian. You might as well talk about a heavenly devil.”

[Vance Havner]



James 4:4 ... Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.


1 John 2:15 ...  Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
Romans 12:1 ... I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.


1 Peter 1:14-16 ...  As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.

Resist the Devil

Temptation is the devil looking through the keyhole. Yielding is opening the door and inviting him in.
 
[Billy Sunday]



Matthew 26:41 ...  Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

Romans 12:9 ... Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.

James 4:7 ... Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. ❤
