By thy blood we have “boldness to enter into the holiest, by a new and living way consecrated for us” (Hebrews 10:19-20). Cause me to draw near with a true heart, in full assurance of faith. Thy name is faithful and true.

from Dying Thoughts, 1683
I wasn’t God’s first choice for what I’ve done for China…I don’t know who it was…It must have been a man…It must have been a man…a well-educated man. I don’t know what happened. Perhaps he died. Perhaps he wasn’t willing….and God looked down…and saw Gladys Alyward…And God said- “Well, she’s willing.”

So many of us limit our praying because we are not reckless in our confidence in God.
– Oswald Chambers –
God loves with a great love the man whose heart is bursting with a passion for the impossible.
– William Booth –
For God says, ‘If it the consequences you are afraid of, don’t come to Me for protection.’ There is a great difference between a selfish fear of consequences and wanting God’s protection because you have a work to carry out for Him.
– Rees Howells –
The more you love the Scriptures, the firmer will be your faith. There is little backsliding when people love the Scriptures.
– DL Moody –
It will not profit us to read about Christ, if we are not joined to Him by living faith. Once more then let us test our religion be this question: “What think we of Christ?”

from Expository Thoughts on the Gospels
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 –
The link that binds us to God is faith. The larger the God we know, the larger will be our faith. The secret of power in our lives is to know God and expect great things from Him. “With God all things are possible,” and “All things are possible to him that believeth.” The difference between faith and works is just this: In the case of faith, God does it; in the case of works, we try to do it ourselves; and the difference is measured simply by the distance between the infinite and the finite, the Almighty God and a helpless worm.
