If you believe what you like in the gospels, and reject what you don’t like, it is not the gospel you believe, but yourself. ~St. Augustine

"Stones are not broken, except by an earnest use of the hammer; and the stone-breaker must go down on his knees. Use the hammer of diligence, and let the knee of prayer be exercised-and there is not a stony doctrine in Scripture, which is useful for you to understand, which will not fly into shivers under the exercise of prayer and faith! You may force your way through anything-with the leverage of prayer. Prayer is the lever which forces open the iron chest of sacred mystery, that we may get the treasure hidden within! So shall you grow healthy, strong, and happy in the divine life!"

- Charles Spurgeon

"Happiness depends on happenings, but joy depends on Christ."

"'Thinking Christianly' is thinking by Christians about anything and everything in a consistently Christian way -- in a manner that is shaped, directed, and restrained by the truth of God's Word and God's Spirit."

The blessing of his prayer. – It is impossible to over-estimate the effect of a good man’s prayers; they are as streams or trees, which go on flowing and bearing fruit long after they were originated. The legacy of a good man’s prayers is of priceless worth. He may have long since passed to his rest; but God remembers them, and answers them in blessings to the next generation. How often in this chapter we read that “God blessed Isaac.”

"There are no padded crosses" (Joyce Meyer)

 

[nChrist]

"It is a sickening thought that, while Christians frequently quarrel, we never hear of the devils doing so. The Church of God is divided, but the kingdom of darkness appears to be one. Whatever intestine strife there may be between evil spirits, we have no hint of it here; they all seem to act in complete unison. Whether hate is a more compacting principle than love, I will not venture to say; but certainly these haters of God and of his truth appear to be knit together as though they were one devil rather than a multitude of evil spirits, yet the lovers of the Lord Jesus Christ are not knit together as one man under his blessed rule."

- C.H. Spurgeon

 

[nChrist]

"Comfort, comfort my people," says your God. "Speak tenderly to Jerusalem. Tell her that her sad days are gone and that her sins are pardoned." Isaiah 40:1-2 What is earth's greatest joy and privilege? It is to bring a ray of comfort to the broken heart. "He comforts us in all our troubles so that we can comfort others. When others are troubled, we will be able to give them the same comfort God has given us." 2 Corinthians 1:4

- John MacDuff 1895

 

[nChrist]

""The Word became flesh," John said ... He was touchable, approachable, reachable. And, what's more, he was ordinary. If he were here today you probably wouldn't notice him as he walked through a shopping mall. He wouldn't turn heads by the clothes he wore or the jewelry he flashed. "Just call me Jesus," you can almost hear him say."

- Max Lucado in "God Came Near"

[nChrist]

"[John the Baptist said] 'He must increase, but I must decrease.' ... No driven person could ever say what John said, because driven people have to keep gaining more and more attention, more and more power, more and more material assets. The seductions of the public life would have led to a competitive posture, but the original call to commitment from within spoke louder."

- Gordon MacDonald from "Ordering your Private World"

"A saint is not free from sin - that is his burden; a saint is not free to sin - that is his blessing. Sin is in him - that is his lamentation; his soul is not in sin - that is his consolation."

- William Secker, 1660

At my lowest, Jesus is my Hope.
At my darkest, Jesus is my Light.
At my weakest, Jesus is my Strength.
At my saddest, Jesus is my Comforter.

For these reasons and many more, I will always love Jesus​
