“Do not waste time bothering whether you ‘love’ your neighbor; act as if you do, and you will presently come to love him.” -C.S. Lewis
Here lies the formal nature of every sin: — it is an opposition to God, casting off his yoke, breaking off the dependence which the creature ought to have on the Creator.
John Owen
“Are you doing it for God, or for you in God’s name?” —
Paul Washer
Take your stand on God's Word, then you cannot fail! His Word has been tried for six thousand years, and it has not failed.
D.L. Moody
Sometimes when we get overwhelmed we forget how big God is.
A.W. Tozer
"If you think heaven worth nothing, and Christ worth nothing, if you consider worldly gain to be everything, and comfort everything, and honor everything if you could not die a martyr's death for Christ, your love to him is not worth much..." -
Charles Spurgeon
"Preachers are not salesmen, for they have nothing to sell. They are bearers of Good News." -Billy Graham
Temptations and occasions put nothing into a man, but only draw out what was in him before John Owen
It costs something to be a true Christian. Let that never be forgotten. To be a mere nominal Christian, and go to church, is cheap and easy work. But to hear Christ’s voice, follow Christ, believe in Christ, and confess to Christ, requires much self-denial. -

Theology 101: If you believe the ultimate hope of the Christian faith is dying and going to heaven forever, you may have stopped reading the true Bible and accidentally picked up a false gnostic gospel. Christian hope is in resurrection and eternal life in the renewed creation.
God is not only a pattern of holiness, but he is a principle of holiness: his spring feeds all our cisterns, and he drops his holy oil of grace upon us.
Thomas Watson
It was to express himself, that God made anything outside himself.
Holiness is excellent in whatsoever subject it is found.
Jonathan Edwards
Because we do not see which way relief should come, we conclude none is to be expected. But all these reasonings of unbelief are vanquished by a serious reflection upon our own experiences.
God has helped, therefore He can.
He has as much power and ability as formerly.
John Flavel
I have reason to praise him for my trials, for, most probably, I should have been ruined without them.
John Newton
Scripture does what psychoanalysis can't do-it pierces the heart, penetrates deep into the soul, and judges the motives. To see yourself in the light of Scripture is to see yourself as you really are. —
John MacArthur
"Can ye bear for Jesus' sake all earthly loss? Can ye bear the scoff, the cold shoulder, the cutting jest, the innuendo, the sarcasm, the sneer? Could you go further, and bear a loss of property and suffering in a purse?" -
Charles Spurgeon
We live in an age when there is a false glare on the things of time and a great mist over the things of eternity. -
JC Ryle
Believers may vary in the amount of fruit they produce, but there is no such thing as a fruitless believer.
R.C Sproul
It is folly to think the Lord provides grace for every trouble but the one you are in today.
Charles Spurgeon
