God's mercy with a sinner is only equalled and perhaps outmatched by His patience with the saints, with you and me.

Joy is not the absence of suffering. It is the presence of God.

There is no power like that of prevailing prayer - of Abraham pleading for Sodom, Jacob wrestling in the stillness of the night, Moses standing in the breach, Hannah intoxicated with sorrow, David heart-broken with remorse and grief, Jesus in sweat and blood. Add to this list from the records of the church your personal observation and experience, and always there is cost of passion unto blood. Such prayer prevails. It turns ordinary mortals into men of power. It brings power. It brings fire. It brings rain. It brings life. It brings God.
Charles Haddon Spurgeon
If our inner life dwindles, if our heart beats slowly before God, we shall not know zeal; but if all be strong and vigorous within, then we cannot but feel a loving anxiety to see the kingdom of Christ come, and his will done on earth, even as it is in heaven. A deep sense of gratitude will nourish Christian zeal. Looking to the hole of the pit whence we were digged, we find abundant reason why we should spend and be spent for God.
(Reuben Archer) R. A. Torrey
God's Word is pure and sure, in spite of the devil, in spite of your fear, in spite of everything.

Trouble always comes whenever we begin to take credit for any of the gifts of the Spirit, be they gifts of prayer, tongues, prophecy, art, science.... Modern medicine suffers, despite all its advances, because it has almost completely forgotten that healing is a gift as well as a science.

I currently live about five miles from Dulles airport directly under the flight path. Since the tragic events that occurred on Tuesday (9/11/01) I have not seen one single airplane fly over my home. Yesterday, as I drove home from work I was asking God how could such a terrible thing have happened. As I looked up, with tears in my eyes, I saw no airplanes, but I did see one lone eagle soaring high in the sky. Evil may be able to stop man from flying, but it will never ground the Spirit of God and of this great nation that soars on eagles wings. May God have mercy on us during this great time of trial.

When some say they want to serve God, they mean in an advisory capacity.
Abbe de Tourville
I implore you in God's name, not to think of Him as hard to please, but rather as generous beyond all that you can ask or think.
Thomas Aquinas
The study of truth requires a considerable effort - which is why few are willing to undertake it out of love of knowledge - despite the fact that God has implanted a natural appetite for such knowledge in the minds of men.
