Christ is able to teach us. See how He taught the disciples. He never wearied of their learning from Him. So He will teach us if we will only listen to Him

Dependence
Entire Manhood and Womanhood to Christ – Charles Spurgeon
Oh, Christian men and women, you will not glorify God much unless you really put your strength into the ways of the Lord, and throw your body, soul, and spirit – your entire manhood and womanhood – into the work of the Lord Jesus Christ.
– Charles Spurgeon –
Desperate Need Of Christ – Elizabeth Elliot

Great Power Is Available to us – Goulburn
The greatest old or new testament saints were on a level that is quite within our reach. The same spiritual power that enabled them to become our spiritual heroes, is also available to us.

Spiritual Possibilities Depend Upon Obedience – Amy Carmichael
Our enemy is more aware than we are of the spiritual possibilities that depend upon obedience. We should never be surprised that he seeks by assault and, if that fails, by undermining our defenses, to compel us to give way

For Of What Christ Displays – Isaac Watts
Should all the hosts of death and powers of hell unknown
Put their most dreadful forms of rage or malice on
I shall be safe, for Christ displays superior power and guardian grace

Best Christians Found In Worst Times – John Bunyan
I have often thought that the best Christians are found in the worst of times: and I have thought again, that one reason why we are no better, is because God purges us no more. I know these things are against the grain of the flesh, but they are not against the graces of the Spirit.
– John Bunyan –
Quietly, Carefully, Deliberately Examine – George Muller
At first I was able to trust the Lord for ten dollars, then for a hundred dollars, then for a thousand dollars, and now, with the greatest ease, I could trust Him for a million dollars, if there was occasion. But first, I should quietly, carefully, deliberately examine and see whether what I was trusting for, was something in accordance with His promises in His written Word.

The Cure for a Weak Faith – Andrew Murray
To someone asking for some means to get more strength in his arms and hands to be able to seize and hang on to things, a physician would say that his whole constitution must be built up and strengthened. So the cure of a weak faith is only found by revitalizing our whole spiritual life through close fellowship with God.
