If we are not disposed meekly to bear injuries, we are not fitted to live in the world, for in it we must expect to meet with many injuries from men.
– Jonathan Edwards –
from his sermon “Charity Disposes Us Meekly to Bear the Injuries Received from Others”
We simply can’t trust God’s power fully until we experience it in the midst of our crisis.
– David Wilkerson –
Let me find thy light in my darkness, thy life in my death, thy joy in my sorrow, thy grace in my sin, thy riches in my poverty, they glory in my valley.
– The Valley of Vision –
A collection of Puritan Prayers and Devotions
There is no condition of life in which we cannot abide in Jesus. We have to learn to abide in Him wherever we are placed.
– Oswald Chambers –
from Our Brilliant Heritage
Dr. A.W. Tozer mentioned recently that, ‘We are not only going to be judged for what we have done; we are going to be judged for what we could have done.’ That hurts. Oh what we could have done! Oh the sacrifices we could have made, the prayers we could have offered, the tears for the lost we could have shed, the souls we could have won to Christ! There are resources in God that we believers have never touched; there is wealth, spiritual wealth in God that we have never discovered; there is power in God that we have left untapped–all because we have been faithless and unbelieving.
– Leonard Ravenhill –
You will never find Jesus so precious as when the world is one vast howling wilderness.
– Robert Murray M’Cheyne –
We were promised sufferings. They were part of the program. We were even told, ”Blessed are they that mourn.”
— CS Lewis –
A cheap Christianity, without a cross, will prove in the end a useless Christianity, without a crown.
– JC Ryle –
If the Lord fails me at this time, it will be the first time.
