Joseph Hall
Death did not first strike Adam, the first sinful man, nor Cain, the first hypocrite, but Abel, the innocent and righteous. The first soul that met death overcame death; the first soul parted from earth went to heaven. Death argues not displeasure, because he whom God loved best dies first, and the murderer is punished with living.
Joseph Hall
Mark Dever, Discipling, 9Marks, page 20.
Maybe you’ve thought that you really need to be discipled before you can disciple. It is certainly crucial to be a disciple. But Jesus gave the command to make disciples to you. And part of being a disciple, in fact, is to disciple. Part of growing in maturity is helping others grow in maturity. God wants you to be in churches not merely so that your needs are met, but so that you will be equipped and encouraged to care for others.
Mark Dever, Discipling, 9Marks, page 20.
John Hannah, To God be the Glory, Crossway, 2000, p. 44.
Though God created the world, like us it has suffered the destructive causes of the Fall. As He cares about the restoration of mankind, so He is glorified when His orderliness, beauty and symmetry are restored to the world.
John Hannah, To God be the Glory, Crossway, 2000, p. 44.
INSCRIPTION À L'ENTRÉE DU ROCKEFELLER CENTER, NEW YORK CITY
Man’s ultimate destiny depends not on whether he can learn new lessons or make new discoveries and conquests, but on the acceptance of the lesson taught him close upon two thousand years ago.

Sinclair Ferguson, The Christian Life, p. 175, 1997.
There is no mere doctrine of “the security” of the believer, as though God’s keeping of us took place irrespective of the lives we live. Indeed there is no such thing in the New Testament as a believer whose perseverance is so guaranteed that he can afford to ignore the warning notes which are sounded so frequently.
Sinclair Ferguson, The Christian Life, p. 175, 1997.
Oswald Chambers
Sum up the life of Jesus by any other standard than God’s, and it is an anticlimax of failure.
Oswald Chambers
John MacArthur, Jacques, Moody Publishers, 1998, p. 43.
Perseverance attests to God’s approval, for it gives evidence of eternal life (salvation). In other words, perseverance does not result in salvation and eternal life, but is itself the result and evidence of salvation and eternal life.
John MacArthur, James, Moody Publishers, 1998, p. 43.

Charles H. Spurgeon
[Patience is] a grace as difficult as it is necessary, and as hard to come by as it is precious when it is gained.

WILLIAM BARCLAY
THÉOLOGIEN ÉCOSSAIS, ÉCRIVAIN RELIGIEUX
So often we have a kind of vague, wistful longing that the promises of Jesus should be true. The only way really to enter into them is to believe them with the clutching intensity of a drowning man.

Francis Schaeffer
Biblical orthodoxy without compassion is surely the ugliest thing in the world.
Francis Schaeffer
Jean Calvin
Original sin, therefore, seems to be a hereditary depravity and corruption of our nature, diffused into all parts of the soul, which first makes us liable to God’s wrath, then also brings forth in us those works which Scripture calls “works of the flesh” [Galatians 5:19].
John Calvin

UNE BONNE NOUVELLE POUR LE MONDE : L'HISTOIRE DE LA SOCIÉTÉ BIBLIQUE, 2004
You can speak to academics, archaeologists, theologians, psychologists, priests, monks, nuns, missionaries, even Islamic scholars or Jewish rabbis, who will tell you that the Bible is the most important collection of documents in the world. You can speak to ordinary Christians who will tell you that it is a book which has changed their lives.

William Barclay
The Christian is a [person] of joy... A gloomy Christian is a contradiction of terms, and nothing in all religious history has done Christianity more harm than its connection with black clothes and long faces.
William Barclay
Erich Fromm
A man sits in front of a bad television program and doesn’t know that he is bored; he joins the rat race of commerce, where personal worth is measured in terms of market values, and is not aware of his anxiety. Ulcers speak louder than words. Theologians and philosophers have been saying for a century that God is dead, but what we confront now is the possibility that "man is dead," transformed into a thing, a producer, a consumer, an idolater of other things.
Erich Fromm
Mère Teresa
Listen in silence because if your heart is full of other things you cannot head the voice of God.
Mother Teresa
Bingham Hunter, The God Who Hears, IVP, 1986, p. 13.
From a biblical point of view, prayer is related to everything that we are and everything that God is. God does not respond to our prayers. God responds to us: to our whole life. What we say to Him cannot be separated from what we think, feel, will and do. Prayer is communication from whole persons to the Wholeness which is the living God. Prayer is misunderstood until we see it this way.
Bingham Hunter, The God Who Hears, IVP, 1986, p. 13.

In the day that we stand before our Master and Maker, it will not matter how many people on earth knew our name, how many called us great, and how many considered us fools. It will not matter whether schools and hospitals were named after us, whether our estate was large or small, whether our funeral drew ten thousand or no one. It will not matter what the newspapers or history books said or didn’t say. What will matter is one thing and one thing only – what the Master thinks of us.
