Better to abolish pulpits than to fill them with men who have no experimental knowledge of what they preach.

Charles Spurgeon

He that would be little in temptation, let him be 𝘮𝘶𝘤𝘩 in prayer. –

John Owen, Works 6:126 | HT

Assurance of faith, though it does not firstly flow from holiness, yet is ever proportionable to holy walking."

James Fraser of Brea.

For neither in Heaven nor among the creatures on Earth is there anyone who loves us more than Jesus Christ does. T

The Belgic Confession

Furious winds often drive vessels more swiftly into port. The devil blows the fire and melts the iron, and then the Lord fashions it for his own purposes. Let men and devils rage as they may, they cannot do otherwise than subserve the divine purposes.

Spurgeon

"If we are to walk with God at all it must be in the light, and if we once walk in the light with him our condition will tally with the description of verse seven; we shall see sin in ourselves and daily feel the blood of Jesus Christ cleansing us therefrom" -

Charles Spurgeon

“God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks to us in our conscience, but shouts in our pains; it is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world.” -

C.S. Lewis

“The Past is frozen and no longer flows, and the Present is all lit up with eternal rays.” -

C.S. Lewis

He does not regard the quantity of faith, but the quality. He does not measure its degree, but its truth. He will not break any bruised reed, nor quench any smoking flax. He will never let it be said that any perished at the foot of the cross. -

“My best incentive to daily life for the Lord is to know that eternity is only the lack of a heartbeat away.” —Ray Comfort

Jesus preached to “the lost sheep of Israel.” He died on the cross in Jerusalem. He was raised from the dead in Jerusalem. And the Bible teaches that our Savior is coming back again to reign and rule from Jerusalem. Why shouldn't we love Jews, then?

~Joel C. Rosenberg~

A minister, a Boy Scout, and a computer expert were the only passengers on a small plane. The pilot came back to the cabin to report that the plane was going down, but there were only three parachutes. “I should have one, “ the pilot said,” because I have a wife and three small children.” He took one and jumped. The computer genius said, “I should have one because I am the smartest man in the world.” He took one and jumped. The minister turned to the Boy Scout and with a sad smile said, “You are young and I have lived a rich life, so you take the parachute, and I’ll go down with the plane.” The Boy Scout said, “Relax, Reverend, the smartest man in the world just picked up my backpack and jumped out.”We can certainly be knowledgeable yet lack wisdom!

The Lord desires that we should have great certainty concerning His promises. Our God does not want us to be plagued with apprehension concerning the fulfillment of His promises. In all that God has promised, He intends for us to stand in bedrock assurance: "that the promise might be sure to all the seed." This certainty is based upon two sets of related truths: one between His promises and His grace, and another between His grace and faith in Him.

Bob Hoekstra

"We cannot bear to be his enemies any longer; distance from him has become distasteful to us; we long, like the prodigal son, to arise and go to our Father, that we may hereafter dwell in our Father's house." -

Charles Spurgeon

Christian doctrine lies at the very roots of faith.

J. Gresham Machen

The first lesson for a child should be concerning his mother’s God. Teach him what you will, if he learns not the fear of the Lord, he will perish for lack of knowledge.

Charles Spurgeon

“When Christ died, he died for you individually just as much as if you had been the only person in the world.” -

C.S. Lewis

A great many people live all their life under the bondage of death, and they fear judgment; but if a man's life is hidden with Christ in God, there is nothing to fear in time or in eternity.

D.L. Moody

Oh that all people might love and praise the blessed God; that he might have all possible honor and glory from the intelligent world!

David Brainerd

The more parental teaching the better; ministers and Sabbath-school teachers were never meant to be substitutes for mothers’ tears and fathers’ prayers.

Charles Spurgeon

"Let your children be as so many flowers, borrowed from God. If the flowers die or wither, thank God for a summer loan of them." -

Samuel Rutherford.

“No amount of scholastic attainment, of able and profound exposition of brilliant and stirring eloquence can atone for the absence of a deep impassioned sympathetic love for human souls.” —David Brainerd
