Boldness in Christ – Leonard Ravenhill

I’ve got The Father on my side, Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit and 2/3 of the angels, what do you think I’m gonna do? sit down and cry?

– Leonard Ravenhill –
from his sermon on Romans 8:31

Christian Contentment in All Things – Jeremiah Burroughs

It is the Lord who gives us all things to enjoy; we may have the thing and yet not enjoy it unless God comes in with his blessing. Now whatever you have, you enjoy it; many men have possessions and do not enjoy them. It is the blessing of God which gives us all things to enjoy, and it is God who through his blessing has fashioned your heart and made it suitable to your circumstances.

– Jeremiah Burroughs – 
from The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment, 1648

He is Ever Doing You Good – John Flavel

He is ever doing you good; be you always abounding in his work. His providence stands by you in your greatest distresses and dangers; do not then flinch from God when His service and your duty is compassed about with difficulties. O be active for that God who every moment is active for you

– John Flavel –
from The Mystery of Providence, 1678

A Real Salvation – Samuel Brengle

It is no little salvation that Jesus Christ came to work out for us. It is a “great salvation,” and it saves. Hallelujah! It is not a pretense. It is not a make-believe.” It is a real salvation from all sin and uncleanness; from all doubt and fear; from all guile and hypocrisy; from all malice and wrath. Bless God!
