God has ordained the end; prayer is the means.

Oswald Sanders
Mastering the art of prayer, like any other art, will take time, and the amount of time we allocate to it will be the true measure of our conception of its importance.
Oswald Sanders
Le pécheur en enfer ne devient pas moralement neutre dès sa condamnation à l'enfer. Nous ne devons pas imaginer que le pécheur damné fait preuve de repentance évangélique et aspire à la présence du Christ. Les damnés aspirent en effet à échapper au châtiment, mais ils ne sont pas des "nouvelles créations". En enfer, ils n'aiment pas le Seigneur leur Dieu avec leur cœur, leur esprit, leur âme et leur force. Au contraire, ils sont maintenant livrés à la pleine manifestation de leurs natures sans la grâce, des natures sataniques (Jean 8:44). Ainsi, la condamnation se poursuit pour toujours et à jamais, sans fin en vue ni pour le péché ni pour sa punition.
Russell Moore.
The sinner in hell does not become morally neutral upon his sentence to hell. We must not imagine the damned sinner displaying gospel repentance and longing for the presence of Christ. The damned indeed are longing for an escape from punishment, but they are not “new creations.” They do not, in hell, love the Lord their God with heart, mind, soul, and strength. Instead, they are now handed over to the full display of their natures apart from grace, natures that are satanic (John 8:44). Thus, the condemnation continues forever and ever and ever, with no end in view either for the sin or the punishment thereof.
Russell Moore.
Charles H. Spurgeon
We must not trust our heart at any time; even when it speaks most fair, we must call it liar; and when it pretends to the most good, still we must remember its nature, for it is evil, and that continually.
Charles H. Spurgeon
John Angell James, The Great End of Life, 1825.
Can it be, that the chief object of existence is to sing, and play, and dress and dance? Do not these things, when we reflect upon them, look more like the pursuits of butterflies and grasshoppers, and canary birds – than of rational creatures? Is it not melancholy to see beings with never-dying souls, sinking to the amusements of children; and employing time as if it were given them for nothing but mirth; and using the world as if it were created by God only to be a sort of playground for its inhabitants?
John Angell James, The Great End of Life, 1825.
Henry Ward Beecher
There are a hundred men hacking at the branches of evil to every one who is striking at the roots of evil.

George Muller, The Autobiography of George Muller, 1984, p. 35.
The anointing of the Holy Spirit helps me greatly when I preach. I would never attempt to teach the truth of God by my own power.
George Muller, The Autobiography of George Muller, 1984, p. 35.
Lynn Anderson
Oh, how God’s church needs leaders who model persistent prayer, whose prayers glow with fervency, and who authentically believe God hears and cares. And how our spirits soar when leaders model vibrant praise and worship to God, who are unashamed to throw back their heads open their mouths, and let their adoration – even their tears – flow in free and authentic worship.
Lynn Anderson

If Christians spent as much time praying as grumbling, they would soon have nothing to grumble about.

To labor to be acquainted with the ways, wiles, methods, advantages, and occasions of the success of sin, is the beginning to this warfare.

Thomas Adams
All our pieces of gold are but current to the grave; none of them will pass in the future world. Therefore as merchants when they travel make over their monies here, to receive them by bills of exchange in another country; let us do good with our goods while we live, that when we die, by a blessed bill of exchange, we may receive them again in the Kingdom of heaven (Luke 16:9). To part with what we cannot keep, that we may get that we cannot lose, is a good bargain. Wealth can do us no good, unless it help us toward heaven.
Thomas Adams
John MacArthur, 1 Corinthiens, Moody, 1984, p. 36.
A Christian has no need of human philosophy. It is unnecessary and, more often than not, misleading. Where it happens to be right it will agree with Scripture, and is therefore unnecessary. Where it is wrong it will disagree with Scripture, and is therefore misleading. It has nothing necessary or reliable to offer. By nature it is speculation, based on man’s limited and fallible insights and understanding. It is always unreliable and always divisive.
John MacArthur, 1 Corinthians, Moody, 1984, p. 36.
Auteur inconnu, The Kneeling Christian, circa 1930, ch. 5.
There are three degrees in prayer. The lowest is that spoken only by the lips. The next is when, by a resolute effort, we succeed in fixing our thoughts on Divine things. The third is when the soul finds it hard to turn away from God.
Unknown Author, The Kneeling Christian, circa 1930, ch. 5.
D.A. Carson, The Sermon on the Mount, Baker, 1978, p. 71.
As Christians grow in holy living, they sense their own inherent moral weakness and rejoice that whatever virtue they possess flourishes as the fruit of the Spirit.
