Robert Leighton, Rules and Instructions for a Holy Life.
Let thy great joy and comfort evermore be, to have His pleasure done in thee, though in pains, sickness, persecutions, oppressions, or inward griefs and pressures of heart, coldness or barrenness of mind, darkening of thy will and senses, or any temptations spiritual or bodily.
Robert Leighton, Rules and Instructions for a Holy Life.
Charles Spurgeon
To trust God in the light is nothing, but to trust him in the dark, that is faith.
Charles Spurgeon
Hannah More
Luxury! More perilous to youth than storms or quicksand, poverty or chains.
Hannah More
Alexander MacLaren
The apostolic church thought more about the Second Coming of Jesus Christ than about death and heaven. The early Christians were looking, not for a cleft in the ground called a grave but for a cleavage in the sky called Glory.

Nothing happens by accident. God is preparing you for great things.

John F. Walvoord
The Bible is God's declaratory revelation to man containing the great truths about God, about man, about history, about salvation, and about prophecy that God wanted us to know. The Bible could be trusted just as much as if God had taken the pen and written the words Himself.
John F. Walvoord
Michael Cocoris
Evangelism is communicating the gospel of Jesus Christ with the immediate intent of converting the hearer to faith in Christ, and with the ultimate intent of instructing the convert in the Word of God so that he can become a mature believer.
Michael Cocoris
Charles Spurgeon
Saving faith is an immediate relation to Christ, accepting, receiving, resting upon Him alone, for justification, sanctification, and eternal life by virtue of God's grace.
Charles Spurgeon
Watchman Nee
Since this life is God's and cannot die, it follows that everyone born anew into possessing this life is said to have eternal life.
Watchman Nee
Robert Coleman, The Master Plan of Evangelism, Fleming H. Revell Company, p. 34.
Perhaps his total number of devoted followers at the end of His earthly ministry numbered little more than the five hundred brethren to whom Jesus appeared after the resurrection (I Corinthians 15:6), and only about 120 tarried in Jerusalem to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:15). Though this number is not small considering that His active ministry extended only over a period of three years, yet if at this point one were to measure the effectiveness of his evangelism by the number of his converts, Jesus doubtless would not be considered among the most productive mass evangelists of the church.
Robert Coleman, The Master Plan of Evangelism, Fleming H. Revell Company, p. 34.
Ne nous décourageons jamais avec nous-mêmes ; ce n'est pas quand nous avons conscience de nos fautes que nous sommes les plus méchants : au contraire, nous le sommes moins. Nous voyons par une lumière plus vive. Et souvenons-nous, pour notre consolation, que nous ne percevons jamais nos péchés avant qu'Il ne commence à les guérir.
François Fénelon
Never let us be discouraged with ourselves; it is not when we are conscious of our faults that we are the most wicked: on the contrary, we are less so. We see by a brighter light. And let us remember, for our consolation, that we never perceive our sins till He begins to cure them.
Francois Fenelon
Bryan Chapell, Holiness by Grace, 2001, page 187.
If thankfulness does not move us to serve God, then we do not truly understand who our God is and what He has done in our behalf. Without gratitude for Christ’s sacrificial love, our duty will become nothing more than drudgery and our God nothing more than a dissatisfied boss.
Bryan Chapell, Holiness by Grace, 2001, page 187.

A man’s greatest care should be for that place where he dwelleth longest; therefore eternity should be in his scope.

Charles H. Spurgeon
In the Christian system, unction is the anointing of the Holy Ghost, separating a person unto God’s work and preparing him for it. This unction is the one divine enablement by which the preacher accomplishes the peculiar and saving ends of preaching. Without this unction there are no true spiritual results accomplished. The results and forces in preaching do not rise above the results of unsanctified speech. Without unction the former is as potent as the pulpit…without the gospel has no more power to propagate itself than any other system of truth. This is the seal of its divinity. Unction in the preacher puts God in the gospel.
Charles H. Spurgeon
Quand j'ai vu le Seigneur pour la première fois ?
Où est la vue rafraîchissante de l'âme
de Jésus et de sa parole ?
Quelles heures paisibles j'ai connues autrefois !
Comme leur souvenir est encore doux !
Mais elles ont laissé un vide douloureux
que le monde ne pourra jamais combler.
WILLIAM COWPER (1731-1800) POÈTE ANGLAIS, AUTEUR D'HYMNES ET TRADUCTEUR DE "WALKING WITH GOD".
Where is the blessedness I knew
When first I saw the Lord?
Where is the soul-refreshing view
Of Jesus and his word?
What peaceful hours I once enjoyed!
How sweet their memory still!
But they have left an aching void
The world can never fill.
WILLIAM COWPER (1731–1800) ENGLISH POET, HYMN WRITER AND TRANSLATOR “WALKING WITH GOD”
Parker J. Palmer
Death in various forms is sometimes comforting, while resurrection and new life can be demanding and threatening. If I lived as if resurrection were real, and allowed myself to die for the sake of a new life, what might I be called upon to do?
Parker J. Palmer
John Piper
The church is the new covenant community – “This cup is the new covenant in my blood” (Luke 22:20; 1 Corinthians 11:25) – we say when we take communion. The new covenant is the spiritual work of God to put His Spirit within us, write the law on our hearts, and cause us to walk in His statutes. It is a spiritually authentic community. Unlike the old covenant community it is defined by true spiritual life and faith. Having these things is what it means to belong to the Church. Therefore to give the sign of the covenant, baptism, to those who are merely children of the flesh and who give no evidence of new birth or the presence of the Spirit or the law written on their heart or of vital faith in Christ is to contradict the meaning of the new covenant community and to go backwards in redemptive history.
John Piper
Randy Smith
Yet what we as Christians see when we look to the cross is not weakness, but power on display. The power to willingly suffer for the sake of another. The power to hold back wrath when being mocked. The power to rise from the dead. And how was Jesus’ power demonstrated? In meekness, gentleness and humility. And the reason opponents don’t see it in Christ’s servants as a sign of greatness is probably because they’ve never seen it in Jesus.
Randy Smith
Henry Drummond
Love should be the supreme thing--because it is going to last; because in the nature of things it is an Eternal Life. It is a thing that we are living now, not that we get when we die; that we shall have a poor chance of getting when we die unless we are living now.
Henry Drummond
