"Be content, ye are His wheat growing in our Lord's field. And if wheat, ye must go under our Lord's threshing instrument, in His barn-floor, and through His sieve, and through His mill to be bruised, as the Prince of your salvation, Jesus was (Isa. 53:9), that ye may be found good bread in your Lord's house."- Samuel Rutherford
"The will of the Father is the yoke He would have us take, and bear also with Him. It is of this yoke that He says, 'It is easy,' of this burden, 'It is light.' He is not saying, 'The yoke I lay upon you is easy, the burden is light'; what He says is, 'The yoke I carry is easy, the burden on My shoulders is light.' With the garden of Gethsemane before Him, with the hour and the power of darkness waiting for Him, He declares His yoke is easy, His burden light."- George MacDonald
"Be a Christian - and a visible and audible one. The world needs you so badly."- John Piper
"There is no greater discovery than seeing God as the author of your destiny."- Ravi Zacharias
"Our most important vision system is not our physical eyes. We can be physically blind and live quite well. But when we are spiritually blind, we cannot live as God intended. That is why so many Old Testament prophecies say that the Messiah would come to open blind eyes. That is why he is called the Light. Physically blind people are always aware of their deficit and spend much of their lives learning to live with its limitations. But the Bible says that we can be spiritually blind and yet think that we see quite well. The reality of spiritual blindness has important implications for the Christian. If I am going to see myself clearly, I need to hold up the mirror of God's Word in front of me to open my eyes."- Paul David Tripp
"If you speak to a hurting world, you will never lack for an audience."- Ravi Zacharias
"As a cure for the sour, faultfinding attitude I recommend the cultivation of the habit of thankfulness. Thanksgiving has great curative powers. A thankful heart cannot be cynical. "- A. W. Tozer
"The blessed news is that the God who needs no one has in sovereign condescension stooped to work by and in and through His obedient children."- A. W. Tozer
"God can shape us in any way he pleases. He raised Moses in a palace in order to use him in a desert; he raised Joseph in a desert in order to use him in a palace."- Ravi Zacharias
"Without faith it is impossible to please God, but not all faith pleases God....For it is not enough that we believe; we must believe the right thing about the right One....Faith in faith is faith astray. To hope for heaven by means of such faith is to drive in the dark across a deep chasm on a bridge that does not quite reach the other side."- A. W. Tozer
"We should all have the passion for reading God's Word of the man in this story. Evangelist Robert L. Sumner, in his book The Wonder of the Word of God, tells of a man in Kansas City who was severely injured in an explosion. His face was badly disfigured, and he lost his eyesight as well as both hands. He had just become a Christian when the accident happened, and one of his greatest disappointments was that he could no longer read the Bible. Then he heard about a lady in England who read braille with her lips. Hoping to do the same, he sent for some books of the Bible in braille. But he discovered that the nerve endings in his lips had been too badly damaged to distinguish the characters. One day, as he brought one of the braille pages to his lips, his tongue happened to touch a few of the raised characters and he could feel them. Like a flash he thought, 'I can read the Bible using my tongue.' At the time Robert Sumner wrote his book, the man had read through the entire Bible four times. If he can do that, can you discipline yourself to read the Bible?"- Donald S. Whitney
"Your worst days are never so bad that you're beyond the reach of God's grace. And your best days are never so good that you're beyond the need of God's grace."- Jerry Bridges
"After his sentence was given, the governor said to him, "Reproach Christ and I will release you."- Polycarp
Polycarp answered, "Eighty-six years I have served him, and he never once wronged me. How then shall I blaspheme my King who has saved me?""
"Love and truth must be maintained in perfect balance. Truth is never to be abandoned in the name of love. But love is not to be deposed in the name of truth… Truth without love has no decency; it’s just brutality. On the other hand, love without truth has no character; it’s just hypocrisy."- John MacArthur
"No idea is more politically incorrect among today's new-style evangelicals than the old fundamentalist notion that truth is worth fighting for - including the propositions of Christian doctrine. That can be true - and is true in cases where human opinions are the only thing at stake. But when God speaks clearly, we have a duty to obey, defend, and proclaim the truth He has given us, and we should do that with an authority that reflects our conviction that God has spoken with clarity and finality."- John MacArthur
"How completely satisfying to turn from our limitations to a God who has none. Eternal years lie in His heart. For Him time does not pass, it remains; and those who are in Christ share with Him all the riches of limitless time and endless years. God never hurries. There are no deadlines against which He must work. Only to know this is to quiet our spirits and relax our nerves."- A. W. Tozer
"It doesn't matter, really, how great the pressure is, it only matters where the pressure lies. See that it never comes between you and the Lord- then, the greater the pressure, the more it presses you to His breast."- Hudson Taylor
