William Wilberforce

I must secure more time for private devotions. I have been living far too public forme. The shortening of devotions starves the soul, it grows lean and faint. I have been keeping too late hours.

Henry Ward Beecher

Whatever is only almost true is quite false, and among the most dangerous of errors, because being so near truth, it is the more likely to lead astray.

Richard Sibbes

This is a life of faith, for God will try the truth of our faith, so that the world may see that God has such servants as will depend upon His bare word.

Francis de Sales

When you cannot stand, He will bear you in His arms.

Nathaniel Hardy

Spiritual rest maketh no man idle, spiritual walking maketh no man weary.

Henry Blackaby

God is interested in developing your character. At times He lets you proceed, but He will never let you go too far without discipline to bring you back. In your relationship with God, He may let you make a wrong decision. Then the Spirit of God causes you to recognize that it is not God's will. He guides you back to the right path. He will clarify what He wants. He will even take the circumstances of your disobedience and work that together for good (Rom. 8:28) as He corrects you and teaches you His ways.

Watchman Nee

Victory is the normal experience of a Christian; defeat should be the abnormal experience.

Faith is not believing that God can, it is knowing that he will.

John of Kronstadt

It is necessary to rouse the heart to pray, otherwise it will become quite dry. The attributes of prayer must be: love of God, sincerity, and simplicity.

James I (J. I.) Packer

Nothing can alter the character of God. In the course of a human life, tastes and outlook and temper may change radically: a kin, equable man may turn bitter and crotchety: a man of good-will may grow cynical and callous. But nothing of this sort happens to the Creator. He never becomes less truthful, or merciful, or just, or good, than He used to be. The character of God is today, and always will be, exactly what it was in Bible times.
