Oswald Chambers

In the midst of the awesomeness, a touch comes, and you know it is the right hand of Jesus Christ. You know it is not the hand of restraint, correction, nor chastisement, but the right hand of the Everlasting Father. Whenever His hand is laid upon you, it gives inexpressible peace and comfort, and the sense that "underneath are the everlasting arms," (Deuteronomy 33:27) full of support, provision, comfort and strength.

John Flavel

If you neglect to instruct children in the way of holiness, will the devil neglect to instruct them in the way of wickedness? No; if you will not teach them to pray, he will to curse, swear, and lie; if ground be uncultivated, weeds will spring.

Thomas Brooks

A well-grounded assurance is always attended with three fair handmaids: love, humility and holy joy.

How much discouragement can you take for God? What would it take for you to quit your service to the Lord?

Amy Carmichael

If a sudden jar can cause me to speak an impatient, unloving word, then I know nothing of Calvary love. For a cup brimful of sweet water cannot spill even one drop of bitter water, however suddenly jolted.

Edmund Clowney

When we worship God as we ought that's when the nations listen.

The cross is the center of the world's history; the incarnation of Christ and the crucifixion of our Lord are the pivot around which all the events of the ages revolve. The testimony of Christ was the spirit of prophecy, and the growing power of Jesus is the spirit of history.

Henry Blackaby

God's commands are designed to guide you to life's very best. You will not obey Him, if you do not believe Him and trust Him. You cannot believe Him if you do not love Him. You cannot love Him unless you know Him.

Martyn Lloyd-Jones

It is the resurrection that finally proves who our Lord is. It is the resurrection that finally establishes the point that this Jesus whom the Jewish leaders had despised—Jesus the carpenter, this fellow, this man who had learning, never having learned, this imposter, this blasphemer, this one who claimed equality with God—really was all He claimed to be. It is the final proof that He is none other than God’s only begotten Son, the eternal Son of God; that though He was a man, He was not only a man. "Ah," you say, "but what about the case of Lazarus? Didn’t he also rise from the dead?" Lazarus was merely restored to life, and he died again later on. Our Lord, by contrast, is "the first begotten of [from] the dead" (Rev. 1:5). He is the first person ever to have gone through death and come out the other side alive. And that is the proof of the fact that He is the Son of God.

God loves us the way we are but He loves us too much to leave us that way.
