Faith like light, should always be simple and unbending; while love, like warmth, should beam forth on every side and bend to every necessity of our brethren.
– Martin Luther –
A great faith is like an oak that spreads its roots deep and is not easily blown down, Colossians 2:7. A great faith is like the anchor or cable of a ship that holds it steady in the midst of storms. A Christian who is steeled with this heroic faith is settled in the mysteries of religion.
The Spirit of God has so firmly printed heavenly truths upon his heart that you may as well remove the sun out of the firmament as remove him from those holy principles he has imbibed. Behold here a pillar in the temple of God, Revelation 3:12.
– Thomas Watson –
from the book The Lords Supper, 1665
God is true to the laws of His own nature, not to my way of expounding how He works.
– Oswald Chambers –
Beware of no man more than of yourself, for we often carry our worst enemies within us.
– Charles Spurgeon –
from the book The Complete John Ploughman
Faith is to believe what we do not see; and the reward of this faith is to see what we believe.
– Augustine –
354 – 430 AD
So many of us limit our praying because we are not reckless in our confidence in God.
– Oswald Chambers –
All God’s giants have been weak men, who did great things for God because they believed that God would be with them.
– Hudson Taylor –
