In commanding us to glorify Him, God is inviting us to enjoy Him.

C. S. Lewis

Your capacity to say "No" determines your capacity to say "Yes" to greater things.

E. Stanley Jones

The main trouble with the Christian Church today is that she is too much like a clinic, too much like a hospital; that is why the great world is going to hell outside! ... Look at the great campaign, look at it objectively, look at it from God's standpoint. Forget yourself and your temporary troubles and ills for the moment; fight in the army. It is not a clinic you need; you must realize that we are in a barracks, and that we are involved in a mighty campaign.

Martyn Lloyd-Jones

I am graven on the palms of His hands. I am never out of His mind. All my knowledge of Him depends on His sustained initiative in knowing me. I know Him, because He first knew me, and continues to know me. He knows me as a friend, One who loves me; and there is no moment when His eye is off me, or His attention distracted for me, and no moment, therefore, when His care falters.

J. I. Packer

The Christian does not say, "What cannot be cured must be endured."Christianity says, rather, that these things must be endured because theyare part of the cure. They have the strange and mystic power to make wholeand strong and so to lead on to victory and the final glory. Christianityis never the dour pessimism that submits. Christianity is optimism thatcooperates with the process because it sees that, through suffering andweakness, joy and triumph must come.

G. Campbell Morgan

To desire only what Christ gives and not to desire Christ himself is to be bought off by little trinkets, never to own the great treasure of His indwelling presence.

Calvin Miller

When people desert you, God will be your friend. This God is our God forever and ever—-not in sunshiny weather only, but forever and ever. This God is your God in dark nights as well as in bright days. Go to him, spread your complaint before him.

Charles Spurgeon

If sheep do not have the constant care of a shepherd, they will go the wrong way, unaware of the dangers at hand. They have been known to nibble themselves right off the side of a mountain. And so, because sheep are sheep, they need shepherds to care for them. The welfare of sheep depends solely upon the care they get from their shepherd. Therefore, the better the shepherd, the healthier the sheep.

Kay Arthur

We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.

Winston Churchill
