"If you knew the value of it, you would praise God for trial more than for anything. It is the trial that is used to purify you; it is in the fiery furnace of affliction that God gets you in the place where He can use you. The person that has no trials and no difficulties is the person whom God dare not allow satan to touch, because he could not stand temptation; but Jesus will not allow any man to be tempted more than he is able to bear.” - Smith Wigglesworth

"The Christian confines himself to the female sex... The Christian husband has nothing to do with any but his own wife... A Christian with grace-healed eyes is sightless in this matter; he is mentally blind against the assaults of passion." - Tertullian

"So, too, whoever enjoys any other than nuptial intercourse, in whatever place, and in the person of whatever woman, makes himself guilty of adultery and fornication. ... But all the other frenzies of passions””impious towards both the bodies and the sexes””beyond the laws of nature, we banish not only from the threshold, but from all shelter of the Church, because they are not sins, but monstrosities." - Tertullian

"If man had his way, the plan of redemption would be an endless and bloody conflict. In reality, salvation was bought not by Jesus' fist, but by His nail-pierced hands; not by muscle but by love; not by vengeance but by forgiveness; not by force but by sacrifice. Jesus Christ our Lord surrendered in order that He might win; He destroyed His enemies by dying for them and conquered death by allowing death to conquer Him.” ~ A.W. Tozer

"I exhort you, clothed as you are with the garment of grace, to speed on your course and exhort all others to attend to their salvation. Do justice to your office with the utmost solicitude, both physical and spiritual. Be concerned about unity, the greatest blessing. Bear with all, just as the Lord does with you. Have patience with all in charity, as indeed you do. To prayer give yourself unceasingly; beg for an increase in understanding; watch without letting your spirit flag. Speak to each one singly in imitation of God's way. Bear the infirmities of all, like a master athlete. The greater the toil, the greater the reward..." - St. Ignatius of Antioch

"Only those who take sin seriously take forgiveness seriously.” ”“ Thomas Oden

"You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending." - C.S. Lewis

"It follows that a tender heart that reaches for love and understanding is often the easiest to break. Hearts that are open and trusting are usually the ones that are wounded the most. This world is filled with men and woman who have rejected the love offered to them from a heart that is gentle and tender. Those strong, hard-shelled hearts that trust no one, hearts that give so little, hearts that demand love be constantly proved, hearts that are always calculating hearts that are always manipulating and self-serving, hearts that are afraid to risk are the ones that seldom get broken. They don't get wounded, because there is nothing to wound. They are too proud and self-centered to allow anyone else to make them suffer in any way. They go about breaking other hearts and trampling on the fragile souls who touch their lives, simply because they are so thick and dull at heart themselves, and they think everyone should be just as they are.”
”• David Wilkerson

"Nicky Cruz: You come near me and I'll kill you!

David Wilkerson: Yeah, you could do that. You could cut me up into a thousand pieces and lay them in the street, and every piece will still love you.”
”• David Wilkerson,The Cross and the Switchblade

"Remember also, the present is your only time to be saved. There is no believing, no repenting, no conversion in the grave --- no minister will speak to you there. This is the time of conversion."

~ Robert Murray McCheyne (1813-1843)

"Atheism turns out to be too simple. If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning..."

”• C.S. Lewis

"If we find ourselves with a desire that nothing in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that we were made for another world."

”• C.S. Lewis

"We live in a day and age when God’s Word is being increasingly rejected as the foundation for our thinking as well as the ultimate authority for our morality. Instead, "everyone does what is right in his own eyes"

~ (Judges 21:25)

"GOD love us just like how He love Jesus Christ..."

~ Zac Poonen

"When the foolish thought of counting up any of your good works enters into your head, immediately correct your fault and rather count up your sins, your continual and innumerable offences against the All-merciful and Righteous Master, and you will find that their number is as the sand of the sea, whilst your virtues in comparison with them are as nothing." - St. John of Kronstadt

"He remembers our frame and knows that we are dust. He may sometimes chasten us, it is true, but even this He does with a smile, the proud, tender smile of a Father who is bursting with pleasure over an imperfect but promising son who is coming every day to look more and more like the One whose child he is." - A. W. Tozer

"A scared world needs a fearless church." - A.W. Tozer

"If we stand or even sit we can fall. But when we are flat on our faces on the ground, we cannot fall!!" - Zac Poonen
