Peace if possible, truth at all costs.
Martin Luther

A continual looking forward to the eternal world is not a form of escapism or wishful thinking, but one of the things a Christian is meant to do.
C. S. Lewis




Today Jesus Christ is being dispatched as the Figurehead of a Religion, a mere example. He is that, but he is infinitely more; He is salvation itself, He is the Gospel of God.
Oswald Chambers

The point of having an open mind, like having an open mouth, is to close it on something solid.
G.K. Chesterton

The Gospel is good news of mercy to the undeserving. The symbol of the religion of Jesus is the cross, not the scales.
John R. W. Stott

Everyone may be entitled to his own opinion but everyone is not entitled to his own truth. Truth is but one.
Doug Groothius

We pursue God because, and only because, He has first put an urge within us that spurs us to the pursuit.
A. W. Tozer

Good and evil both increase at compound interest. That is why the little decisions you and I make every day are of such infinite importance.
C. S. Lewis

God never gives us discernment in order that we may criticize, but that we may intercede.
Oswald Chambers

O God, never suffer us to think that we can stand by ourselves, and not need Thee.
John Donne




Is it not wonderful news to believe that salvation lies outside ourselves?
Martin Luther

God has no more precious gift to a church or an age than a man who lives as an embodiment of his will, and inspires those around him with the faith of what grace can do.
Andrew Murray

If ours is an examined faith, we should be unafraid to doubt….There is no believing without some doubting, and believing is all the stronger for understanding and resolving doubt.
Os Guinness

In prayer it is better to have a heart without words than words without a heart.
John Bunyan

I may no longer depend on pleasant impulses to bring me before the Lord. I must rather respond to principles I know to be right, whether I feel them to be enjoyable or not.
Jim Elliot

It is safe to tell the pure in heart that they shall see God, for only the pure in heart want to.
C. S. Lewis
