Sin is a poisonous weed that throws the whole nature out of order. The inner life disintegrates; the flesh lusts after forbidden pleasures; the moral judgment is distorted so that often good appears evil and evil good; time is chosen over eternity, earth over heaven and death over life.
– AW Tozer –
Did you never run to a tree for shelter in a storm, and find fruit which you did not expect? Did you never go to God for safeguard in these times, driven by outward storms, and there find unexpected fruit, the peaceable fruit of righteousness, that made you say, “Happy tempest, which cast me into such a harbor”?
– John Owen –
1616 –1683
The whole Scripture doth principally aim at this thing, that we should not doubt, but that we should hope, that we should trust, that we should believe, that God is a merciful, a bountiful, a gracious, and a patient God to his people.
– Martin Luther –
1483-1546
A frightened world needs a fearless church.
– AW Tozer –
Fear imprisons, faith liberates; fear paralyzes, faith empowers; fear disheartens, faith encourages; fear sickens, faith heals; fear makes useless, faith makes serviceable.
– Harry Emerson Fosdick –
Only he who can say, “The Lord is the strength of my life” can say, “Of whom shall I be afraid?”
– Alexander MacLaren –
If you fear God, you really need fear nothing else.
– Zac Poonen –
Our lives are full of supposes. Suppose this should happen, or suppose that should happen; what could we do; how could we bear it? But, if we are living in the high tower of the dwelling place of God, all these supposes will drop out of our lives. We shall be quiet from the fear of evil, for no threatenings of evil can penetrate into the high tower of God.
– Hannah Whitall Smith –
If the Lord be with us, we have no cause of fear. His eye is upon us, His arm over us, His ear open to our prayer — His grace sufficient, His promise unchangeable.
– John Newton –
