T.S. Eliot
The greatest proof of Christianity for others is not how far a man can logically analyze his reasons for believing, but how far in practice he will stake his life on his belief.

John MacArthur, Éphésiens, Moody, 1986, p. 161.
Every individual believer is to stay close to Jesus Christ, faithfully using his spiritual gift in close contact with every believer he touches, and that through such commitment and ministry the Lord’s power will flow for the building up of the Body in love.
John MacArthur, Ephesians, Moody, 1986, p. 161.
Martin Luther
“God delights in our temptations and yet hates them. He delights in them when they drive us to prayer; He hates them when they drive us to despair.”
Martin Luther
Charles Hodge
“Christian humility does not consist in denying what there is of good in us; but in an abiding sense of ill-desert, and the consciousness that what we have of good is due to the grace of God.”
Charles Hodge
Roy Hession, The Calvary Road, Christian Literature Crusade, 1950, p. 48.
To be broken means to have no rights before God and man. It does not mean merely surrendering my rights to Him but rather recognizing that I haven’t any, except to deserve hell. It means just being nothing and having nothing that I call my own, neither time, money, possessions nor position.
Roy Hession, The Calvary Road, Christian Literature Crusade, 1950, p. 48.

God is worthy of my loving obedience because of who He is, not because of what He does.

“The cure for impatience with the fulfillment of God’s timetable is to believe His promises, obey His will, and leave the results to Him. So often when God’s timetable stretches into years we become discouraged and...want to give up or try to work something out on [our] own.”
Jerry Bridges
R.C. Sproul
When we fail to observe the third commandment, when we fail to honor God as God, and use His name as a curse word, or in a flippant, careless manner, we fail to fulfill this first petition (of the Lord’s Prayer to “hallow” God’s name). Perhaps nothing is more commonplace in our culture than the expression that comes from people's lips on many occasions, when they say simply, “Oh, my God.” This careless reference to God indicates how far removed our culture is from fulfilling the petition of the Lord's Prayer. It should be a priority for the church and for every individual Christian to make sure that the way in which we speak of God is a way that communicates respect, awe, adoration, and reverence. How we use the name of God reveals more clearly than any creed we ever confess our deepest attitudes towards the God of the sacred name.
R.C. Sproul
Paul Ricoeur
Hope, insofar as it is hope of resurrection, is the living contradiction of what it proceeds from and what is placed under the sign of the Cross and death.
Paul Ricoeur
John Piper
“All experiences of suffering in the path of Christian obedience, whether from persecution or sickness or accident, have this in common: They all threaten our faith in the goodness of God and tempt us to leave the path of obedience. Therefore, every triumph of faith and all perseverance in obedience are testimonies to the goodness of God and the preciousness of Christ – whether the enemy is sickness, Satan, sin or sabotage. Therefore, all suffering, of every kind, that we endure in the path of our Christian calling is a suffering "with Christ" and "for Christ." With Him in the sense that the suffering comes to us as we are walking with Him by faith, and in the sense that it is endured in the strength that He supplies through His sympathizing high-priestly ministry (Hebrews 4:15). For Him in the sense that the suffering tests and proves our allegiance to His goodness and power, and in the sense that it reveals His worth as an all-sufficient compensation and prize.”
John Piper
Jerry Bridges
Peace should be a hallmark of the godly person, first because it is a Godlike trait: God is called the God of peace several times in the New Testament. He took the initiative to establish peace with rebellious men, and He is the author of both personal peace as well as peace among men. Peace should be part of our character also because God has promised us His peace, because He has commanded us to let peace rule in our lives and relationships, and because peace is a fruit of the Spirit and therefore an evidence of His working in our lives.”
Jerry Bridges
Erich Sauer, The Triumph of the Crucified, Eerdmans, 1951, p. 67.
[Repentance is] a threefold action. In the understanding it means knowledge of sin; in the feelings it means pain and grief; and in the will it means a change of mind.
Erich Sauer, The Triumph of the Crucified, Eerdmans, 1951, p. 67.
C.S. Lewis
“We find thus by experience that there is no good applying to heaven for earthly comfort. Heaven can give heavenly comfort; no other kind. Earth cannot give earthly comfort either, as there is no earthly comfort in the long run.”
C.S. Lewis
La racine de notre péché est le désir de notre propre bonheur en dehors de Dieu et en dehors du bonheur des autres en Dieu.
John Piper
The root of our sinfulness is the desire for our own happiness apart from God and apart from the happiness of others in God.
John Piper
Robert McCheyne
It is not so much great talents that the Lord blesses as great likeness to Jesus Christ.
Robert McCheyne
C.S. Lewis
We ought to give thanks for all fortune: if it is good, because it is good, if bad, because it works in us patience, humility and the contempt of this world and the hope of our eternal country.
C.S. Lewis
John C. Boger
“Anger and bitterness are two noticeable signs of being focused on self and not trusting God’s sovereignty in your life. When you believe that God causes all things to work together for good to those who belong to Him and love Him, you can respond to trials with joy instead of anger or bitterness.”
John C. Boger

God's words are not for me to edit and tinker with what to believe and obey.
