Martyn Lloyd-Jones

The fatal tendency is to divide Christians into two groups: religious and the laity, exceptional Christians and ordinary Christians, the one who makes a vocation of the Christian life and the man who is engaged in secular affairs. That tendency is not only utterly and completely unscriptural; it is ultimately destructive of true piety and is, in many ways, a negation of the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. There is no such distinction in the Bible.

John Bunyan

The truths that I know best I have learned on my knees. I never know a thing well, till it is burned into my heart by prayer.

C S Lewis

A man who has lived in many places is not likely to be deceived by the local errors of his native village; the scholar has lived in many times and is therefore in some degree immune from the great cataract of nonsense that pours from the press and microphone of his own age. - From "Learning in War Time"

Gilbert Keith G. K. Chesterton

I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought, and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.

Jeremy Riddle

Oh, how I wish we were less impressed with what we were able to accomplish in and of our own strength! We continue to be impressed with our church growth and numbers when in fact the church in the United States is in massive decline. We're impressed with our "relevant" services and hip pastors while the culture around us continues to decay into an abyss of moral chaos and injustice. How long will we stay enamored with what we can accomplish in and through our own power and remain blinded to our bankruptcy? How long until we wake up and realize our mightiest efforts are utterly feeble in comparison, and wholly give ourselves to His ways, His plans, and His power?⠀⠀

God is quick to catch the sigh of the heart. He hears our silent sighs under the heavy mantle of leadership or parenting. He hears our short sighs of loneliness or exhaustion or choking grief that go unnoticed by others, and he seeks to comfort us. The Spirit is translating those sighs into prayers according to the perfect will of God. May we be comforted to know that our Father hears our slightest sighs as loud cries.

Sally McClung

We live in an "instant world." I think all of us want things to be over quickly, but God doesn't look at it the same way we do. He knows our times and seasons. He is sovereign in our lives. He is working for good in each and every situation we face. Whether I understand, whether I'm strong or weary, whatever happens - I resolve to trust Him with all my heart, because that's where my true rest can be found.

We must all fight against pessimism, spiritual dullness, passivity. Do not sit back and watch the world go by.

Keith Ferranate

The problem in our church world is that we're so fixated on pastors and pulpits. The vast majority of people in the Christian world will never see a pulpit. If we don't get unimpressed with the pulpit and pastors, then we'll never see the reformation and harvest we all want. Whatever you affirm, you empower. Not afirming the ministry that goes on through the saints in their daily life, work, family, the mundane but necessary things, etc., has caused the repetitive strongholds that don't get a breakthrough. We wonder why we don't see a breakthrough in our churches, so we try harder and harder to preach better sermons and have better speakers because we hope that it's the way to bring transformation. In this reformation, God is moving the pulpit from center stage to the back corner. The pulpit will still have a role. But our view of the pulpit will drastically change, and preaching in a church building behind the pulpit will become a smaller part of the transformation needed in the church, not the largest part. Now don't get me wrong, most of my world is built around the pulpit. I love to preach and spend a lot of time preaching, teaching and training. But God is up to something different.
