If any occupation or association is found to hinder our communion with God or our enjoyment of spiritual things, then it must be abandoned. Anything in my habits or ways which mars happy fellowship with the brethren or robs me of power in service, is to be unsparingly judged and made an end of – ‘ burned.’ Whatever I cannot do for God’s glory must be avoided.
Arthur Pink (Bible Teacher, 1886 – 1952)
Man is unable to accurately predict events which are but twenty-four hours distant; only the Divine Mind could have foretold the future, centuries before it came to be. Hence, we affirm with the utmost confidence, that the hundreds of fulfilled prophecies in the Bible attest and demonstrate the truth that the Scriptures are the inspired, infallible, inerrant Word of God.

Taking up my cross means a life voluntarily surrendered to God.

Afflictions are light when compared with what we really deserve. They are light when compared with the sufferings of the Lord Jesus. But perhaps their real lightness is best seen by comparing them with the weight of glory which is awaiting us.
Arthur Pink (Bible Teacher, 1886 – 1952)
To realize that the Holy Scriptures are a revelation from the Most High, communicating to us His mind and defining for us His will, is the first step toward practical godliness. To recognize that the Bible is God’s Word, and that its precepts are the precepts of the Almighty, will lead us to see what an awful thing it is to despise and ignore them.
Arthur Pink (Bible Teacher, 1886 – 1952)
Growing in grace is a deepening realization of our nothingness; it is a heartfelt recognition that we are not worthy of the least of God’s mercies.

The measure of our love for others can largely be determined by the frequency and earnestness of our prayers for them.
Arthur Pink (Bible Teacher, 1886 – 1952)
The Bible is no lazy man’s book! Much of its treasure, like the valuable minerals stored in the bowels of the earth, only yield up themselves to the diligent seeker.
Arthur Pink (Bible Teacher, 1886 – 1952)
Contentment, then, is the product of a heart resting in God. It is the soul’s enjoyment of that peace that passes all understanding. It is the outcome of my will being brought into subjection to the Divine will. It is the blessed assurance that God does all things well, and is, even now, making all things work together for my ultimate good.
Arthur Pink (Bible Teacher, 1886 – 1952)
Real prayer is communion with God, so that there will be common thoughts between His mind and ours. What is needed is for Him to fill our hearts with His thoughts, and then His desires will become our desires flowing back to Him.
