Patience is waiting for God to solve problems that we cannot.

I’ve been there a few times in my life. Most don’t understand it. That’s understandable. However, it hit home to me when the Apostle Paul said, “Apart from such external things, there is the daily pressure on me of concern for all the churches” (2 Cor. 11:28). A number of years ago, the pain was so intense that the physical affliction Paul spoke about earlier in 2 Corinthians 11 would have been much preferred. I can take the long hours and the hard work. I can even take the pressures on my family. But the emotional pain is the one and only thing that forever tempts me to throw in the towel. When I feel that way, I can almost hear the Lord saying to me, “Are you in it for Me or are you in it for yourself?” That’s gut-check time. Am I really a servant of Christ (2 Cor. 11:23)?

La progéniture de la femme, Jésus-Christ, est venu au monde pour sauver les femmes qui ont détrôné Dieu, pris sa place, défini la personne comme un tissu et voulu la mort de leur propre enfant. Cela ne peut être inversé, mais cela peut être pardonné. C'est pourquoi le Christ est mort.
John Piper
The offspring of the woman, Jesus Christ, came into the world to save women who have dethroned God, taken His place, defined personhood as tissue, and willed the death of their own child. It can't be reversed, but it can be forgiven. That is why Christ died.

Our single-minded purpose in declaring the gospel is to give a clear and accurate presentation of the person and work of our Lord Jesus Christ. The Father purposes and delights in His Son’s supremacy in everything – and not least in the gospel and its preaching. Gospel preaching fails if it does not set forth the glories of our once crucified and now risen and glorified Savior. Everything we proclaim about the gospel must be viewed in its relationship to Him.

James Stewart
The concern for world evangelization is not something tacked on to a man’s personal Christianity, which he may take or leave as he chooses. It is rooted in the character of the God who has come to us in Christ Jesus. Thus, it can never be the province of a few enthusiasts, a sideline or a specialty of those who happen to have a bent that way. It is the distinctive mark of being a Christian.
James Stewart
Nous ne sommes pas justifiés par une profession de foi. Nous sommes justifiés par une possession. L'on ne peut aucunement manipuler cela. Seul l'Esprit Saint peut convertir. Seul l'Esprit Saint peut changer la disposition de l'âme et régénérer une personne qui est morte dans les péchés et les offenses. Nous ne pouvons pas forcer cela, et quand nous le faisons, nous mettons les gens au péril éternel lorsque nous leur donnons un faux sentiment de sécurité. Cela donne à des multitudes de personnes un faux sentiment de sécurité en pensant qu'ils sont sauvés parce qu'ils ont levé la main ou prié une prière, ou ont marché dans une allée lors d'un appel. Maintenant, tous ceux qui sont sauvés sont appelés à faire une profession de foi, mais Christ a mis en garde encore et encore et encore où beaucoup viendront le voir au dernier jour en disant : "Seigneur, Seigneur, n'ai-je pas fait ça, n'ai-je pas fait ça ? Et malheureusement Il dira : "Retirez-vous de Moi, ouvriers d'iniquité. Je ne t'ai jamais connu.

Jerry Bridges, Trusting God, 1988, p. 177.
Every adversity that comes across our path, whether large or small, is intended to help us grow in some way. If it were not beneficial, God would not allow it or send it, “For he does not willingly bring affliction or grief to the children of men” (Lamentations 3:33). God does not delight in our sufferings. He brings only that which is necessary, but He does not shrink from that which will help us grow.
Jerry Bridges, Trusting God, 1988, p. 177.
Charles H. Spurgeon
Christ and we will never be one until we and our sin are two.

John Piper, Desiring God, 1996, p. 162-163.
Christians can be and ought to be content with the simple necessities of life… First, when you have God near you and for you, you don’t need extra money or extra things to give you peace and security… God is always better than gold… Second, we can be content with the simplicity because the deepest, most satisfying delights God gives us through creation are free gifts from nature and from loving relationships with people. After your basic needs are met, accumulated money begins to diminish your capacity for these pleasures rather than increase them. Buying things contributes absolutely nothing to the heart’s capacity for joy… Third, we should be content with the simple necessities of life because we could invest the extra we make for what really counts (God’s kingdom).
John Piper, Desiring God, 1996, p. 162-163.

A sermon is not made with an eye upon the sermon, but with both eyes upon the people and all the heart upon God.

R.C. Sproul
Longsuffering, forbearing patience is to be the Christian’s reflection of the character of God. It is part of God’s character to be slow to anger and quick to be merciful. Part of the incomprehensibility of God in terms of my own relationship with Him is this: I cannot fathom how a holy God has been able to put up with me marring His creation to the degree I have for three score and five years. For me to live another day requires a continuation of God’s gracious patience with my sin… It becomes even more difficult to fathom when we see a sinless Being being more patient with sinful beings that sinful beings are with each other.

God sees us in secret; therefore, let us seek His face in secret. Though heaven be God’s palace, yet it is not his prison.

George Gardiner, The Corinthian Catastrophe, 1974, publié par Kregel Publications, Grand Rapids, MI. p. 33.
The reception of a spiritual gift is not the result of prayer, fasting, tears or sacrifice on the part of the recipient, but is a gift of grace, for the good of the body of Christ and is received at conversion when we are baptized into that body by the Holy Spirit.
George Gardiner, The Corinthian Catastrophe, 1974, Published by Kregel Publications, Grand Rapids, MI. p. 33.
Augustin
Every saint is God’s temple, and he who carries His temple about him, may go to prayer when he pleaseth.
Augustine
George Muller
Our holy faith does not consist in talking. ”Reality, reality, reality," is what we want. Let us have heart-work; let us be genuine. Brethren! we should live so as to be missed - missed both in the Church and in the world, when we are removed. Oh how rapidly is time hastening on! We should live in such a manner as that, if we were called hence, our dear brethren and sisters might feel our loss, and from their inmost souls exclaim, "Oh that such a one were in our midst again! " We ought to be missed even by the world. Worldly persons should be constrained to say of us, "If ever there was a Christian upon earth, that man was one."
George Muller
Matthew Henry
There is a burden of care in getting riches; fear of keeping them; temptation in using them; guilt of abusing them; sorrow in losing them; and a burden of account at last to be given concerning them.
Matthew Henry
