“It is the easiest thing in the world to believe as everybody else believes, but the difficulty is to believe a thing alone, when no one else  thinks as you think.”  ~A.W. Pink~

      "What man considers to be freedom and what God considers to be freedom are two different things. Man thinks freedom is being able to do anything he wants, whether good or bad. Whereas freedom in God's eyes is always doing right - desiring good and doing it."

     “The deepest meaning of the cross  is to give up “one’s own ‘I’.” Only when this dark tyrant has been wounded unto death can undisturbed peace rule. And then we no longer seek to preserve that which is condemned to death.”   ~G. Steinberger~

     “It is the crises of life which reveal the secrets of our hearts and make it manifest whether we are really new creatures in Christ or merely whitewashed worldlings. “  ~A.W. Pink~

     “Trials remind us that this world is not our home. If we met with no sorrows in our way, we should be still more prone than we are at present to forget that better land towards which we are journeying.”  ~Newman Hall~

   "The best convent for a woman is the seclusion of her own home. There she may find her vocation and fight her battles, and there she may learn the reality and the earnestness of life." ~Elizabeth Prentiss~

     “There are two widely different classes of people who come under the sound of the word: those who believe it, and those who believe it not. And those of the former class have also to be divided, for while there are a few in whom that Word works effectually in a spiritual way, many have nothing more that a natural faith in its letter. This latter faith - which so many today mistake for a saving one - is merely an intellectual assent to the Divine authority of the Bible - like that possessed by most of the Jews of Christ’s day, and which though good so far as it goes, changes not the heart nor issues in a godly life.” 
~A.W. Pink~

     “It has been said with much truth that the only “sign of one’s being in Christ which Satan cannot counterfeit” is the grief and sorrow which true believers undergo when God discloses to them the sinfulness of inbred sin.”    ~David MacIntyre~

     “If our hearts are right, the more we are favoured of God the more shall we be humbled by a sense of our unworthiness and insignificance.”    ~A.W. Pink~

     “Everytime we avoid an experience of humbling, we miss an experience of grace.”    ~G. Steinberger~

     “The Lord desires to have us much in communion with Himself. The reluctance of the carnal heart to dwell in God’s presence is terrible. We will rather speak on Him than to Him.”    
~David MacIntyre~

     “God does not often give a full answer to prayer all at once, but a little at first and then gradually more and more as He sees what is good for us.”   ~A.W. Pink~

     “To live for one’s self is to be against God. Our own “I” is synonymous with the “flesh.”    
~G. Steinberger~

     “Would Jesus have done so much for you already - would He have called you by His grace, renewed you by His Spirit, comforted you by His love, and preserved you to this day, if He intended now to abandon you? If He sought you when a stranger, will He not take care of you now that you are a child? If the foe was loved, how much more the friend!”  ~Newman Hall~

     “Faith views the One who orders our circumstances, hope looks
beyond the present scene, patience gives strength to endure trials, and love delights in Him whom no circumstances affect.” ~A.W. Pink~
 

     “Very much has often to be accomplished in us before we are fitted to employ worthily the gifts we covet. And God effects this preparation of heart largely by delaying to grant our request at once, and so holding us in the truth of His presence until we are brought into a spiritual understanding of the will of Christ for us in this respect.”    ~David MacIntyre~

     “The greatest sacrifice a person can bring to God is his will. God has no pleasure in any other sacrifice as long as we hold fast to our will.”
