Most of God's people are content to be saved from the hell that is without. They are not so anxious to be saved from the hell that is within.

Robert Murray McCheyne
1839

For my own part, I tend to find the doctrinal books often more helpful in devotion than the devotional books, and I rather suspect that the same experience may await many others. I believe that many who find that 'nothing happens' when they sit down, or kneel down, to a book of devotion, would find that the heart sings unbidden while they are working through a tough bit of theology with a pipe in their teeth and a pencil in their hand.

C. S. Lewis
"On the Reading of Old Books" in God in the Dock

Just as a smart man knows he is stupid, so the awake Christian knows he is a ragamuffin

Brennan Manning

The riddles of God are more satisfying than the solutions of man.

G.K. Chesteron

When you write, you give your readers a chance to look into the inner workings of your mind and heart. The act of putting thoughts on a page forces you to evaluate your ideas more objectively than when you merely think about them. For that reason, creative writing is the sweetest agony known to man.

Howard G. Hendricks

Red meat is NOT bad for you. Now blue-green meat, THAT'S bad for you!

Tommy Smothers

I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book.

Groucho Marx

You will never find Jesus so precious as when the world is one vast howling wilderness. Then he is like a rose blooming in the midst of the desolation, a rock rising above the storm.

Robert Murray M'Cheyne

Being used by God is overrated. God used a donkey to speak to Balaam. Being wanted by God is the thing to be thankful for.

Rich Mullins

We must remember throughout our lives that in God's sight there are no little people and no little places. Only one thing is important: to be consecrated persons in God's place for us, at each moment.

Francis A. Schaeffer
