It is well to get rid of the idea that faith is a matter of spiritual heroism for only a few select spirits. There are heroes of faith, but faith is not only for heroes. It is a matter of spiritual manhood. It is a matter of maturity. – P. T. Forsyth
Truth without enthusiasm, morality without emotion, ritual without soul, are things Christ unsparingly condemned. Destitute of fire, they are nothing more than a godly philosophy, an ethical system, and a superstition. -S. Chadwick
My need and Thy great fullness meet, And I have all in Thee. -Unknown
We know the utility of prayer from the efforts of the wicked spirits to distract us during the divine office; and we experience the fruit of prayer in the defeat of our enemies. -John Climacus
When we go to God by prayer, the devil knows we go to fetch strength against him, and therefore he opposeth us all he can. -R. Sibbes
“Got any rivers you think are uncrossable?
Got any mountains you can’t tunnel through?
God specializes in things thought impossible,
And he can do what no other pow’r can do.”
God never intended His Church to be a refrigerator in which to preserve perishable piety. He intended it to be an incubator in which to hatch out converts. -F. Lincicome
God helps us seek popularity where it counts- at the court of God! -Zepp
Beware of reasoning about God’s Word- obey it. -Oswald Chambers
I cannot work my soul to save,
For that my Lord hath done;
But I will work like any slave,
for love of God’s dear Son. -Unknown
How shall I feel at the judgment, if multitudes of missed opportunities pass before me in full review, and all my excuses prove to be disguises of my cowardice and pride? -Dr. W.E. Sangster
O living Stream! O Gracious Rain! None wait for Thee, and wait in vain. -Tersteegen
Revival- the inrush of the Spirit into the body that threatens to become a corpse. -D.M. Panton
I fear not the tyranny of man, neither yet what the devil can invent against me. -John Knox, in “A Godly Letter”
The business of the truth is not to be deserted even to the sacrifice of our lives, for we live not for this age of ours, nor for the princes, but for the Lord. -Zwingli
Come as the fire, and purge our hearts
With sacrificial flame;
Let our whole soul an offering be
To our Redeemer’s Name. – Andrew Reed
No man is greater than his prayer life. The pastor who is not praying is playing; the people who are not praying are straying. The pulpit can be a shop-window to display one’s talents; the prayer closet allows no showing off. -Leonard Ravenhill
All decays begin in the closet; no heart thrives without much secret converse with God, and nothing will make amends for the want of it. -Berridge
Should all the hosts of death
And powers of hell unknown
Put their most dreadful forms
Of rage or malice on,
I shall be safe; for Christ displays
SUPERIOR POWER and guardian grace. -Isaac Watts
