As we dive deeper into the book of Revelation, Christians commonly walk away with two wrong responses. First is they hear about God’s awful wrath and the persecution on the church and they become scared, very scared. Second is they contemplate the heavy symbolism and make it their life’s goal to interpret the events down to the smallest detail. Then they often dogmatically defend their position, even to the expense of dividing the church. If the first individual has his head in the sand, the second has his head in the clouds!

Jean de Cronstadt
Your Lord is a God of mercy and bountifulness: be a source of mercy and bountifulness to your neighbors. If you will be such, you will find salvation yourself with everlasting glory.
John of Kronstadt
Jean Calvin
Only those who have learned well to be earnestly dissatisfied with themselves, and to be confounded with shame at their wretchedness truly understand the Christian gospel.
John Calvin
Albert Barnes
It does not require great learning to be a Christian and be convinced of the truth of the Bible. It requires only an honest heart and a willingness to obey God.

A.W. Pink, Comfort for Christians, Baker, 1989, p. 85-86.
Contentment, then, is the product of a heart resting in God. It is the soul’s enjoyment of that peace that passes all understanding. It is the outcome of my will being brought into subjection to the Divine will. It is the blessed assurance that God does all things well, and is, even now, making all things work together for my ultimate good.
A.W. Pink, Comfort for Christians, Baker, 1989, p. 85-86.
Jim Elliff
It was [Paul’s] mission as the “apostle to the Gentiles,” and it is the universal church’s mission as well, to promote that harmony of cultures in Christ that the cross brings them (or, we might say, forces upon them for their good). Imagine what it took for this former Jewish leader to accept that the Jews’ lofty position as God’s chosen people is not ultimately about ethnic Jews, but only Jewish Christians who share the position with “Gentile dogs” who have also become Christians. The promises made to the Jews are for all who are in Christ; the inheritance is both for Jews and Gentiles. We are all members of one body. The immensity of this new knowledge is not only enough to cause every God-fearing Jew to scream curses at Paul, but is the very reason Gentiles like me have any hope whatsoever. Paul carried this message everywhere.

John Lloyd Ogilvie, God's best for my life
Our two biggest problems in life are solved by the two crucial prerequisites of powerful prayer given us by Christ. He taught us that God is omniscient. He has infinite knowledge, awareness, and concern about our needs. When we pray about our problems, we solve the first great need, which is the source of all our lesser problems—our need for communion with the Lord. Jesus gives us two big "if s" for dynamic praying. If we abide—that's the essence of prayer. And then, if we ask in His name—that's the efficacy of prayer. When we abide, we are given life's greatest treasure—intimacy with our Creator. The name of Jesus means His authority, power, and purpose. Our second greatest need is to discover what our Lord wants us to do in keeping with His name. Abiding gives us the mind of the Lord for our problems and perplexities.

Donald S. Whitney, Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life, 1991, p. 111.
The Bible says in I Corinthians 1:21 that “God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe.” Often it is the message of the Cross lived and demonstrated that God uses to open a heart to the gospel, but it is the message of the Cross proclaimed (by word or page) through which the power of God saves those who believe its content. No matter how well we live the gospel (and we must live it well, else we hinder its reception), sooner or later we must communicate the content of the gospel before a person can become a disciple of Jesus.

Henry Drummond
To love abundantly is to live abundantly, and to love forever is to live forever. Hence, eternal life is inextricably bound up with love... Love must be eternal. It is what God is.
Henry Drummond
Thomas Fuller
It is riches of the mind only that make a man rich and happy.
Thomas Fuller
Oswald Chambers
Intercessory prayer for one who is sinning prevails. God says so! The will of the man prayed for does not come into question at all, he is connected with God by prayer, and prayer on the basis of the Redemption sets the connection working and God gives life.
Oswald Chambers
Les chrétiens ne sont pas parfaits, loin s'en faut, mais ils peuvent être des personnes rendues pleinement vivantes.
Philip Yancey
Christians are not perfect, by any means, but they can be people made fully alive.
Philip Yancey
Les chrétiens ne sont pas laissés dans le monde par hasard, mais ils y sont placés sur ordre divin de leur Seigneur.
John MacArthur
Christians are not left in the world by accident but are placed there on divine assignment from their Lord.
John MacArthur
Billy Sunday
Temptation is the devil looking through the keyhole. Yielding is opening the door and inviting him in.
Billy Sunday
J. Vernon McGee
There is a brotherhood within the body of believers, and the Lord Jesus Christ is the common denominator. Friendship and fellowship are the legal tender among believers.
J. Vernon McGee
John Flavel
Look around in the world, and you may see some in every place who are objects of pity, bereaved by sad accidents of all the comforts of life, while in the meantime Providence has tenderly preserved you.
John Flavel
Il y a ceux qui peuvent s'aventurer loin dans le monde et pourtant rester partout fidèles à leur Sauveur ; ils sont connus comme chrétiens partout où ils apparaissent, et les gens respectent leur position ; ils n'iraient nulle part s'ils savaient que leur bouche doit être fermée sur les sujets les plus proches de leur cœur ; l'énergie du Christ en eux est une force si brillante et victorieuse qu'ils façonnent la société dans laquelle ils sont, au lieu d'être façonnés par elle.
James Stalker
There are those who can venture far into the world and yet everywhere be true to their Savior; they are known as Christians wherever they appear, and people respect their position; they would not go anywhere if they knew that their mouths were to be stopped on the subjects lying nearest their hearts; the energy of Christ in them is so glowing and victorious a force that they mould the society in which they are, instead of being molded by it.
James Stalker
Abraham Kuyper
God built into the creation a variety of cultural spheres, such as the family, economics, politics, art, and intellectual inquiry. Each of these spheres has its own proper "business" and needs its own unique pattern of authority. When we confuse spheres, by violating the proper boundaries of church and state, for instance, or reducing the academic life to a business enterprise, we transgress the patterns that God has set.
Abraham Kuyper
