Dr. John Henry J. H. Jowett
We are not "born again" into soft and protected nurseries, but in the open country where we suck strength from the very terror of the tempest. "We must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.

Christian worship is alive because, in its essence, it is a conversation between two living realities-the one true, eternal God and the body of Christ, the church. Because worship is a conversation and not a mere review of the past, it is dynamic, unpredictable, and open-ended. Who knows what might transpire on any given day when a group of believers hears and responds to the Word of God!

As scarce as truth is, the supply has always been in excess of the demand.

God loves beauty and creativity. He has made for us a world that is visually spectacular. When we read in Genesis that we are made in God’s image, the only thing we know about him is that he is an artist, a Creator! Similarly, the first man in the Bible to be described as being filled with the Holy Spirit is not some great king or prophet. It is a craftsman called Bezalel, anointed by God to decorate the prayer room—the tabernacle (Exod. 35:30–33).
Matthew Henry
Seducers are more dangerous enemies to the church than persecutors.
Claxton Monro
Our Christian experience must agree with the Bible. We will be taught by the Bible and fed by the Bible. But we do not believe in Christ because He is in the Bible: we believe in the Bible because Christ is in us.
Watchman Nee
He can only keep those who have handed themselves over to Him.

Is there any phrase more startling than 'the wrath of the Lamb?' I think that if we had desired to describe wrath figuratively we should have written, the wrath of the " lion," but therein we should have failed. It is the wrath of the Lamb which is terrible, the wrath of One whose very heart and nature are love and gentleness. Wrath kindled by love is the fiercest flame that burns.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon
I bear my witness that the worst days I have ever had have turned out to be my best days. And when God has seemed most cruel to me, he has then been most kind. If there is anything in this world for which I would bless him more than for anything else, it is for pain and affliction. I am sure that in these things the richest, tenderest love has been manifested to me. Our Father's wagons rumble most heavily when they are bringing us the richest freight of the bullion of his grace. Love letters from heaven are often sent in black-edged envelopes. The cloud that is black with horror is big with mercy. Fear not the storm. It brings healing in its wings, and when Jesus is with you in the vessel, the tempest only hastens the ship to its desired haven.
