He became not only a man but a curse, a man of sorrows, for us. He was broken that we should not be broken; he was troubled, that we should not be desperately troubled; he became a curse, that we should not be accursed.
– Richard Sibbes –
from The Bruised Reed, 1630
It’s Satan’s delight to tell me that once he’s got me, he will keep me. But at that moment I can go back to God. And I know that if I confess my sins, God is faithful and just to forgive me.
– Alan Redpath –

Instead of preaching the good news that sinners can be made righteous in Christ and escape the wrath to come, the gospel has degenerated into the pretext that we can be happy in Christ and escape the hassles of life.
– Ray Comfort –
Do not be lazy. Run each day’s race with all your might, so that at the end you will receive the victory wreath from God. Keep on running even when you have had a fall. The victory wreath is won by him who does not stay down, but always gets up again, grasps the banner of faith and keeps on running in the assurance that Jesus is Victor.
– Basilea Schlink –
Thousands of preachers who would not dare cut Hell out of their Bibles, have cut it out of their preaching!
– Leonard Ravenhill –
It was well done of Paul to reprove Peter to his face, and it was well done of Peter, to praise Paul in his absence.
– Thomas Adams –
In all things look to the end, and how you will stand before that just Judge.
