“Suffering clearly is designed by God not only as a way to wean Christians off of self and onto grace, but also as a way to spotlight that grace and make it shine.”

John Wesley
Whether we think of, or speak to, God, whether we act or suffer for Him, all is prayer, when we have no other object than His love, and the desire of pleasing Him.
John Wesley
Jonathan Edwards
The blessedness of Heaven is so glorious that when the saints arrive there they will look back upon their earthly pilgrimage, however wonderful their life in Christ was then, as a veritable Hell. Just as truly, on the other hand, will those who perish in Hell look back on the life in this world, however miserable it may have been, as veritable Heaven.
Jonathan Edwards
Brian Hardin
Giving our hearts to unworthy things can become like drinking from a tainted water source that is corrupt and will make us sick. Our hearts are ground zero for our lives, and we must be intentional vigilant, and wholly devoted, if we want to know and be known by God.
Brian Hardin
Notre Sauveur doit être pleinement homme pour prendre la place des hommes et mourir à leur place, et il doit être pleinement Dieu pour que la valeur de son sacrifice réponde aux exigences de notre Dieu infiniment saint. Il doit être homme, mais un simple homme ne pourrait tout simplement pas effectuer ce paiement infini pour le péché.
Bruce Ware
Our Savior must be fully man in order to take the place of men and die in their stead, and He must be fully God in order for the value of His sacrificial payment to satisfy the demands of our infinitely holy God. Man He must be, but a mere man simply could not make this infinite payment for sin.
Bruce Ware
R.C. Sproul, The Purpose of God, An Exposition of Ephesians, Christian Focus Publications, 1994, p. 114.
If you are of the truth, if you have learned the truth, if you see the sanctity of the truth, then speak truth. We are not called to be deceivers or liars. God is a God of truth, and His people are called to have an enormously high standard of truth.
R.C. Sproul, The Purpose of God, An Exposition of Ephesians, Christian Focus Publications, 1994, p. 114.
George Sweeting
Watch out for any ministry or person who claims to be led by the Holy Spirit but acts contrary to the Word of God. And beware of any movement or group whose focus is the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit points not to Himself but to Jesus Christ.
George Sweeting
Brooke Foss Westcott
The mark of a saint is not perfection, but consecration. A saint is not a man without faults, but a man who has given himself without reserve to God.

Charles H. Spurgeon
“Depend upon it, your dying hour will be the best hour you have ever known! Your last moment will be your richest moment, better than the day of your birth will be the day of your death. It shall be the beginning of heaven, the rising of a sun that shall go no more down forever!”
Charles H. Spurgeon
Tom Wells, Chrétien : Take Heart !, 1987, p. 61.
[God] is not at a loss when He moves to bring us back to Himself. He can woo or whip. He can draw or drive. He can work rapidly or slowly, as He pleases. In other words, He is free to be God! And in His own way, at His own pace, He brings us back.
Tom Wells, Christian: Take Heart!, 1987, p. 61.
Trop souvent, ce que nous appelons des convictions sont en fait des préférences. Les vraies convictions sont fondées sur la vérité révélée (c'est-à-dire la Bible). Les préférences sont fondées sur le désir personnel. Les convictions sont constantes ; les préférences changent avec le désir. Les convictions exigent la foi ; les préférences reposent sur les émotions du moment.
Paul David Tripp, Age of Opportunity, 1997, p. 131-132,
Too often, what we call convictions are actually preferences. Real convictions are based on revealed truth (that is, Scripture). Preferences are based on personal desire. Convictions are constant; preferences change with desire. Convictions demand faith; preferences rely on the emotions of the moment.
Paul David Tripp, Age of Opportunity, 1997, p. 131-132,
Charles H. Spurgeon
Nearness to God brings likeness to God. The more you see God the more of God will be seen in you.
Charles H. Spurgeon
Donald Whitney, Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life
I still maintain that much of Scripture is plain and straightforward in its meaning. Our problem continues to be more of a lack of action than comprehension. The words of Scripture must be understood to be applied, but until we apply them, we don’t really understand them.
Donald Whitney, Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life
Jamais auparavant le monde n'a demandé aussi désespérément des réponses à des questions cruciales, et jamais auparavant le monde ne s'est engagé aussi frénétiquement dans l'idée qu'aucune réponse n'est possible.
Edmond Clowney
Never before has the world been so desperately asking for answers to crucial questions, and never before has the world been so frantically committed to the idea that no answers are possible.
Edmond Clowney
Sam Storms, One Thing, 2004, p.60.
There are no term limits on His reign. He has always been King and He always will be King. There is no death that threatens the perpetuity of His sovereign authority. There is no usurping of power by a lesser rival to His throne. There are no coups, no revolutions (at least, none that succeed). There is no threat of impeachment. He is a King who rules eternally.
Sam Storms, One Thing, 2004, p.60.
Philip Graham Ryken
Are you a hypocrite? One way to tell is to compare the amount of time you spend in private prayer to the amount of time you spend in public prayer. As D. A. Carson rightly observes, “The person who prays more in public than in private reveals that he is less interested in God's approval than in human praise. Not piety but a reputation for piety is his concern.”
Philip Graham Ryken
J.C. Ryle
To be born again is, as it were, to enter upon a new existence, to have a new mind, a new heart, new views, new principles, new tastes, new affections, new likings, new dislikings, new fears, new joys, new sorrows, new love to things once hated, new hatred to things once loved, new thoughts of God, and ourselves, and the world, and the life to come, and salvation.

Fly from all occasions of temptation, and if still tempted, fly further still. If there is no escape possible, then have done with running away and show a bold face and take the two-edged sword of the Spirit. Some temptations must be taken by the throat as David killed the lion; others must be stifled as David hugged the bear to death. Some you had better keep to yourselves and not give air. Shut them up as a scorpion in a bottle. Scorpions in such confinement die soon, but if allowed out for a crawl and then put back into the bottle and corked down, they will live a long while and
give you trouble. Keep the cork on your temptations, and they will die of themselves.
