Quote of the Day


There before you is the grisly old enemy to spiritual progress standing astride the path of obedience to Christ – SELF!  This monster cries out daily to be served.  He challenges the dominion of Jesus Christ and opposes every devotion of time, energy and love to the Lord.  But it is a strange war that we may win only by feeling ourselves the painful blows we give.  Every denial of self is felt keenly.  How we would love to change the scene of combat!  But on every occasion when we are serious about advancing in righteousness, we must contend with self.

Walter Chantry
