What is a Christian? the function and position of the Church in the modern world; the Church and the State; the function of the Church is to produce Christians; the example of history. The Church and the World - Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones Sermon John 1:26 “I baptize with water,” John replied, “but among you stands one you do not know. 27 He is the one who comes after me, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.”

Watchman Nee - The Spiritual Man

His Tears, His Cries, Best Tell what Hell Means - Archibald Brown / Christian Devotional 2 Peter 2:4 For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them in chains of darkness to be held for judgment; 5 if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others; 6 if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly; 7 and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the depraved conduct of the lawless 8 (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)— 9 if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from trials and to hold the unrighteous for punishment on the day of judgment.

Man's utter inexcusability; a universal sense of God; God manifested in creation; providence and history; general and special revelation; suppressing the truth; proud and wicked philosophy. Their Foolish Heart was Darkened - Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones Sermon Romans 1:18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse

The Loving Heart of an Actual Living Christ - Bishop J. C. Ryle (Christian devotional) Hebrews 2:18 Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.

A. W. Tozer Sermon - Rejoice, Though Now Ye Are In Heaviness 1 Peter 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, 5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 6 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations

They have forsaken the Lord; they have spurned the Holy One of Israel and turned their backs on him.

Personal Victory For The New Year - A. W. Tozer Sermon

A life consistent with our profession of faith; darkness affects the mind and intellect; the unbeliever is ignorant of His need of salvation; darkness affects the heart and the emotions; conduct is the result of a point of view; the error of the non-Christian system; how darkness is manifested in the will; why the works of darkness are unfruitful. Unfruitful Works of Darkness - Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones Sermon Ephesians 5:8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light 9 (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) 10 and find out what pleases the Lord. 11 Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. 12 It is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. 13 But everything exposed by the light becomes visible—and everything that is illuminated becomes a light.
