Killing Your Pet Sins - by Thomas Brooks


A short but powerful video of the words of Thomas Brooks (1608-1680) an English Puritan preacher who writes on the need to mortify or kill your sin based on Paul's writing to the Colossians from Colossians 3:5

Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:  - Colossians 3:5

Don't Let Prayer Become a Boring Empty Habit - by C. H. Spurgeon



This is part 1 of a sermon on prayer by C. H. Spurgeon.  The beginning text is Mark 11:24 which reads, "Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them." I found it very convicting because many times our prayer time can become a empty habit rather than a joy where we petition God by Faith.
