“Lukewarm people don't really want to be saved from their sin; they want only to be saved from the penalty of their sin.”
― Francis Chan, Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God

“Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again.”
― C.S. Lewis

“Love and self-denial for the object loved go hand-in-hand. If I profess to love a certain person, and yet will neither give my silver nor my gold to relieve his wants, nor in any way deny myself comfort or ease for his sake, such love is contemptible; it wears the name, but lacks the reality of love: true love must be measured by the degree to which the person loving will be willing to subject himself to crosses and losses, to suffering and self-denials. After all, the value of a thing in the market is what a man will give for it, and you must estimate the value of a man’s love by that which he is willing to give up for it.”
― Charles H. Spurgeon

“If you are renewed by grace, and were to meet your old self, I am sure you would be very anxious to get out of his company.”
― Charles H. Spurgeon
