Next to the wonder of seeing my Savior will be, I think, the wonder that I made so little use of the power of prayer.

Edward Welch, When People are Big and God is Small, 1997, p. 18.
The love of God can be a profound answer to just about any human struggle, but sometimes we can use it in such a way that it becomes a watered down version of profoundly rich truth. For example, sometimes, because of shortcomings in us rather than Scripture, this answer misses the call to “consider others better than yourselves” (Phil. 2:3), or it ignores personal repentance. Sometimes it still allows us and our needs to be at the center of the world, and God becomes our psychic errand boy given the task of inflating our self-esteem.

Too often we fail to appreciate that [the] apprehension of God is not only the test of our worship, but also the test of our spiritual growth. A Christian’s real development in spiritual life will always be revealed by how he or she thinks about God – how much he thinks about Him, and how highly he thinks about Him.
Sinclair Ferguson, A Heart for God. 1987, p. 111.

This “personal walk with Jesus” makes a good point, but it has also caused great harm to the body of Christ as it fuels self-centeredness and a consumer mentality. We have a corporate walk with Jesus.

"Ainsi, le pouvoir de croire en Jésus est l'une des choses les plus merveilleuses et une personne est transférée du péché, de la damnation éternelle, et de la mort, à une vie éternelle dans le ciel."
Alberlin Torres, The Power of Believe in Jesus
"Thus, the power of believing in Jesus is one of the most wonderful things and is a person is transferred from sin, eternal damnation, and death, to an eternal life in heaven."

Sinclair Ferguson, Feed My Sheep, ed. Don Kistler, Soli Deo Gloria Ministries, 2002, p. 214.
There is a center to the Bible and its message of grace. It is found in Jesus Christ crucified and resurrected. Grace must therefore be preached in a way that is centered and focused on Jesus Christ Himself, never offering the benefits of the gospel without the Benefactor Himself.

Faith-healing is grand, but faith-enduring is grander.

Donald S. Whitney, Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life, 1991, p. 68.
Praying without ceasing means you never really stop conversing with God; you simply have frequent interruptions.
Donald S. Whitney, Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life, 1991, p. 68.
Charles H. Spurgeon
If we do wrong and no harm comes of it, we are not thereby justified. If we did evil and good came of it, the evil would be just as evil. It is not the result of the action, but the action itself which God weighs.
Charles H. Spurgeon
Richard Baxter
Nothing can be rightly known, if God be not known; nor is any study well managed, nor to any great purpose, if God is not studied. We know little of the creature, till we know it as it stands related to the Creator: single letters, and syllables uncomposed, are no better than nonsense. He who overlooks Him who is the “Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending,” and sees not Him in all who is the All of all, doth see nothing at all.
Richard Baxter
John Piper, Brothers, We Are Not Professionals, Bethlehem Baptist Church, 2002. p. 114.
I must feel the truth that once I was as close to hell as I am to the chair I am sitting on – even closer. Its darkness, like vapor, had entered my soul and was luring me down. Its views were my views. I was a son of hell (Matthew 23:15), a child of the Devil (John 8:44) and of wrath (Ephesians 2:3). I belonged to the viper’s brood (Matthew 3:7), without hope and without God (Ephesians 2:12). I must believe that just as a rock climber, having slipped, hangs over the deadly cliff by his fingertips, so I once hung over hell and was a heartbeat away from eternal torment. I say it slowly, eternal torment!
John Piper, Brothers, We Are Not Professionals, Bethlehem Baptist Church, 2002. p. 114.
Scott Hafemann, The God of Promise and the Life of Faith, 2001, page 41.
If God did not insist that we worship Him alone, we would have to conclude that He is evil, or at least two-faced, since He would not be directing us to the one thing we desperately need.
Scott Hafemann, The God of Promise and the Life of Faith, 2001, page 41.
R.C. Sproul Jr.
The list in Galatians 5 is not a list of unforgivable sins. Instead it is a list of those sins, which when they are practiced, evidence a lack of saving faith. Practicing these sins, however, is not the same thing as committing them. We practice these sins, or any sin, when we give up, when we no longer fight the temptation, when we embrace the sin as good. When, however, we fight, when we repent for falling into these sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins (1 John 1:9).

Charles H. Spurgeon
He who talks upon plain gospel themes in a farmer’s kitchen, and is able to interest the carter’s boy and the dairymaid, has more of the minister in him than the prim little man who keeps prating about being cultured, and means by that – being taught to use words which nobody can understand.

Look, as our greatest good comes through the sufferings of Christ, so God’s greatest glory that He hath from His saints comes through their sufferings.

Melvin Tinker, Wisdom to Live By, Christian Focus Publications, 1998, p. 181.
What is the goal of this warfare? To disarm angelic beings? No! Christ has already done that on the cross, as we read in Colossians 2:15: “And having disarmed the powers and authorities, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.” It is simply that we take a stand, remain immovable, and that paradoxically is to advance. You advance by standing firm – as Paul repeats in Ephesians 6:11, 13, and 14.
Melvin Tinker, Wisdom to Live By, Christian Focus Publications, 1998, p. 181.
La vérité est que sans Christ il n'y a pas de bonheur dans ce monde. Lui Seul peut donner le Consolateur qui demeure Éternellement. Il est le Soleil ; sans Lui, les hommes ne se sentent jamais au chaud. Il est La Lumière ; sans Lui, les hommes sont toujours dans le noir. Il est le Pain ; sans Lui, les hommes sont toujours affamés. Il est l'Eau Vive ; sans Lui, les hommes ont toujours soif. Donnez-leur ce que vous aimez, placez-les où bon vous semble, entourez-les de tout le confort que vous pouvez imaginer, cela ne fait aucune différence. Séparé du Christ, Le Prince de la Paix, un homme ne peut pas être heureux.

Joni Eareckson Tada, Heaven : Your Real Home, Zondervan, 1995, p. 41.
“Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God” (1 Corinthians 15:50). Entrance to heaven requires a redeemed body. The body must be rid of the law of sin at work in its members. At the present time, the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. The day is coming, however, when instead of being a hindrance to the spirit, the body will be the perfect vessel for the expression of my glorified mind, will, and emotions. Right now, we wear our souls on the inside. But one day we will be “clothed in righteousness” as we wear our souls on the outside, brilliant and glorious.

For the Holy Spirit is prayer's great Helper. We are incapable of ourselves to translate our real needs into prayer. The Holy Spirit does this for us. We cannot ask as we ought. The Holy Spirit does this for us. It is possible for unaided man to ask what is for our ill. The Holy Spirit can check this. No weak or trembling hand dare put in motion any mighty force. Can I – dare I – move the Hand that moves the universe? No! Unless the Holy Spirit has control of me.

Il y a une conscience dans tous les hommes par nature. Qu'on ne l'oublie jamais. Déchus, perdus, désespérément méchants comme nous sommes tous nés dans le monde, Dieu a pris soin de se laisser un témoin dans nos poitrines. C'est un pauvre guide aveugle, sans le Saint-Esprit. Il ne peut sauver personne. Il ne conduit personne au Christ. Elle peut être brûlée et foulée aux pieds. Mais il existe une conscience en chaque homme, qui l'accuse ou l'excuse ; l'Écriture et l'expérience le déclarent (Rom. 2:15).
J.C. Ryle, Commentaire, Matthieu 14.
There is a conscience in all men by nature. Let this never be forgotten. Fallen, lost, desperately wicked as we are all born into the world, God has taken care to leave Himself a witness in our bosoms. It is a poor blind guide, without the Holy Spirit. It can save no one. It leads no one to Christ. It may be seared and trampled under foot. But there is such a thing as conscience in every man, accusing or excusing him; and Scripture and experience alike declare it (Rom. 2:15).
J.C. Ryle, Commentary, Matthew 14.

Thomas Watson
There is a great deal of difference between falling into a temptation, and running into a temptation. The falling into a temptation shall work for good, not the running into it. He that falls into a river is capable of help and pity, but he that desperately turns into it is guilty of his own death.
Thomas Watson

Nothing can so gloriously fit you to preach as descending fresh from the mount of communion with God to speak with men. None are so able to plead with men as those who have been wrestling with God on their behalf.
Charles H. Spurgeon
E.M. Bounds
Every preacher who does not make prayer a mighty factor in his own life and ministry is weak as a factor in God’s work and is powerless to project God’s cause in this world.
