Charles Spurgeon
I do not come into this pulpit hoping that perhaps somebody will of his own free will return to Christ. My hope lies in another quarter. I hope that my Master will lay hold of some of them and say, "You are mine, and you shall be mine. I claim you for myself." My hope arises from the freeness of grace, and not from the freedom of the will.
Charles Spurgeon
Charles H. Brent
It seems to me, as time goes on, that the only thing that is worth seeking for is to know and to be known by Christ -a privilege open alone to the childlike, who, with receptivity, guilelessness, and humility, move Godward.

John Stott, Basic Introduction to the New Testament, Eerdmans, 1964, p. 163-164.
These then are the marks of the ideal Church – love, suffering, holiness, sound doctrine, genuineness, evangelism and humility. They are what Christ desires to find in His churches as He walks among them.
John Stott, Basic Introduction to the New Testament, Eerdmans, 1964, p. 163-164.
Thomas Boston, Of the Decrees of God, Commentary on the Shorter Catechism.
In our redemption by Christ we have the fullest, clearest, and most delightful manifestation of the glory of God that ever was or shall be in this life. All the declarations and manifestations that we have of His glory in the works of creation and common providence, are but dim and obscure in comparison with what is here. Indeed the glory of His wisdom, power, and goodness, is clearly manifested in the works of creation. But the glory of His mercy and love had lain under an eternal eclipse without a Redeemer.
Thomas Boston, Of the Decrees of God, Commentary on the Shorter Catechism.

John MacArthur, Moody, 1995, p. 56.
We must keep in mind that Jesus’ path to glory was marked by pain before pleasure, sorrow before joy, humiliation before glorification, persecution before exaltation, death before resurrection, earthly hatred before heavenly worship. To remember those truths about our Lord’s earthly life will protect us from the foolish and ungodly promises of the so-called health and wealth gospel, which vitiates His command to take up our crosses as He took up His.
John MacArthur, Moody, 1995, p. 56.
John Newton
The Lord’s commands to His people are not arbitrary appointments; but that, so far as they are conscientiously complied with, they have an evident tendency and suitableness to promote our own advantage. He requires us to acknowledge Him…for our own sakes; not because He has need of our poor services, but because we have need of His blessing, and without the influence of His grace (which is promised to all who seek it) are sure to be unhappy in ourselves and in all our connections.
John Newton
George Swinnock
The course of thy life will speak more for thee than the discourse of thy lips.

3. Il est terrifié par le Christ et par l’Évangile. (Jacques 2.19)
4. Il est déjà jugé et condamné par Dieu. (Jude 1.6)

John Gerstner, The Problem of Pleasure, Soli Deo Gloria, 2002, p. 4.
Sin is still here. It is just that people do not so willingly acknowledge that fact. A spade is no longer called a spade, but some euphemism. The little boy says to his mother, “Why is it whenever I do anything bad, it’s because I’m a bad boy; but whenever you do anything bad, it’s because you’re nervous?” It is nerves rather than sin. It is our glands rather than sin. It is what we eat, the environment, our biorhythm, rather than sin, it is anything but sin. Sin denies that it is sin.
John Gerstner, The Problem of Pleasure, Soli Deo Gloria, 2002, p. 4.
Colin Kruse, The Second Epistle of Paul to the Corinthians, The Tyndale New Testament Commentaries, Eerdmans, 1995, p. 70-71.
The conscience is not to be equated with the voice of God or even the moral law, rather it is a human faculty which adjudicates upon human action by the light of the highest standard a person perceives.
Colin Kruse, The Second Epistle of Paul to the Corinthians, The Tyndale New Testament Commentaries, Eerdmans, 1995, p. 70-71.
Samuel Chadwick
There is no power like that of prevailing prayer, of Abraham pleading for Sodom, Jacob wrestling in the stillness of the night, Moses standing in the breach, Hannah intoxicated with sorrow, David heartbroken with remorse and grief, Jesus in sweat of blood. Add to this list from the records of the church your personal observation and experience, and always there is the cost of passion unto blood. Such prayer prevails. It turns ordinary mortals into men of power. It brings power. It brings fire. It brings rain. It brings life. It brings God.
Samuel Chadwick
Jean Chrysostome
Patience is the queen of virtues.
John Chrysostom
Kris Lundgaard, The Enemy Within, 1998, p. 65.
Your flesh will whisper to you that strictness and anxious care about obedience are legalism – the gospel came to deliver you from such things! And besides, if you really do commit a sin, you can be forgiven later.
Kris Lundgaard, The Enemy Within, 1998, p. 65.

ANCIEN CONSEILLER DE LA MAISON BLANCHE ET FONDATEUR DE LA FRATERNITÉ DES PRISONS
The Bible—banned, burned, beloved. More widely read, more frequently attacked than any other book in history. Generations of intellectuals have attempted to discredit it; dictators of every age have outlawed it and executed those who read it. Yet soldiers carry it into battle believing it more powerful than their weapons. Fragments of it smuggled into solitary prison cells have transformed ruthless killers into gentle saints.

Samuel Prime
It belongs to the very idea and nature of man to be in communion with God. It was once said to a useful minister, “Sir, if you did not plough in your closet, you would not reap in your pulpit”.
Samuel Prime
Erroll Hulse
A ministry which is weak and flabby on the subject of sin is a useless ministry. A preaching ministry that does not result in conviction of sin is useless. If is does not wound, how can it heal? The good news is only for sinners.

Charles H. Spurgeon
Prayer can never be in excess.

Ligon Duncan
What will a church look like that is committed to the ordinary means of grace? It will be characterized by love for expository preaching, passion for worship, delight in truth, embrace of the Gospel, the Spirit’s work of conversion, a life of godliness; robust family religion; biblical evangelism; biblical discipleship, biblical church membership, mutual accountability in the church, biblical church leadership, and a desire to be a blessing to the nations. Along with this all, there will be an unapologetic, humble, and joyful celebration of the transcendent sovereignty of the one, true, triune God in salvation and all things.
