When Peter saw Moses and Elijah with Christ in his transfiguration, though he had but a glimpse of glory, yet he says “It is good for us to be here.” But Oh! How infinitely good it will be to be in heaven. How shall we then be rapt up with glory, when we shall be forever with the Lord!

Integrity means our outward life is consistent with our inner convictions.
– Billy Graham –
Life is pitiful, death so familiar, suffering and pain so common, yet I would not be anywhere else. Do not wish me out of this or in any way seek to get me out, for I will not be got out while this trial is on. These are my people, God has given them to me, and I will live or die with for Him and His glory.
– Gladys Aylward –
Man can avoid conviction by truth, just as he can avoid burning by fire — getting out of its way, refusing contact with it — and no other way. So of the frost, so of the light of the sun, so of the thunder. These may be shunned, but not directly resisted. The truth is just like them.
– Ichabod Spencer –
from the sermon The Truth Held in Unrighteousness: Romans 1:18
[Integrity] means a person is the same on the inside as he or she claims to be on the outside. He is the same person alone in a hotel room a thousand miles from home as he is at work or in his community or with his family. A man of integrity can be trusted.
– Billy Graham –
There are two things that unbelief stumbles at in God: His power and His willingness to help.
– John Flavel –
from The Mystery of Providence, 1678
We disown the law in respect of justification, yet we establish it as a rule of Christian living.
– Samuel Bolton –
from The True Bounds of Christian Freedom, 1645
Only believe, don’t fear. Our Master, Jesus, always watches over us, and no matter what the persecution, Jesus will surely overcome it.
