"Christ has not died in order to purchase for His people an indulgence for them to live in sin: rather did He shed his precious blood to redeem them from all iniquity and 'purify unto Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works,' Titus 2:14, and just so far as they neglect those good works will they fail to enter experimentally into the benefits of His redemption."
~A.W. Pink

"The Most High is not confined to any one agent. Elijah thought the whole work was to be accomplished through his instrumentality, but was taught that he was only one factor among several. Do your duty where God has stationed you: plough up the fallow ground and sow the seed, and though there be no fruit in your day, who knows but an Elisha may follow you and do the reaping."

~A. W. Pink

"We've been so concerned about being cool, relevant, and fun that we have forgotten to be bread, light, and life to a hungry, dark, and dying world."
~Eric Ludy

"God leads His servants step by step. Necessarily so, for the path which they are called to tread is that of faith, and faith is opposed to both sight and independency. It is not the Lord's way to reveal to us the whole course which is to be traversed: rather does he restrict His light to one step at a time, that we may be kept in continual dependence upon Him."

~A. W. Pink

"What I've learned is that when my emotions contradict God's truth I need to obey the truth whether I feel like it or not. And here is the amazing thing: My feelings will follow my feet.  In other words, once I start taking steps to do the right thing, my feelings will follow."

~Josh McDowell

"Ignorance about God limits us from having the relationship with him that he wants us to have and unavoidably makes our faith unable to grow into what God wants it to be."

~Levi Dade

"Our culture has accepted two huge lies. The first is that if you disagree with someone's lifestyle, you must fear or hate them. The second is that to love someone means you agree with everything they believe or do. Both are nonsense. You don't have to compromise convictions to be compassionate."

~Phil Robertson

"The grace of God does not help us to hide our sins but to destroy them."

~Charles Spurgeon

 "Imagine for a moment if we lived like this: each putting our hands to the specific work God has given us to do, not envious of our neighbour's portion or assignment, not longing for something more glamorous, but intent on making our specific work for the Gospel strong and beautiful."

~Katie (Davis) Majors

"If you had the cure for cancer wouldn't you share it? . . . You have the cure to death . . . get out there and share it."

"Time is free, but it's priceless. You can't own it, but you can use it. You can't keep it, but you can spend it. Once you've lost it you can never get it back."

"When someone is pregnant, she is not 'expecting a child' -- she already has one. She is not 'going to be a mother' -- she already is a mother. The baby is not 'on the way', the baby has already arrived. If we are going to change the way society treats unborn children, we have to change the way we talk about them."

"Everything is new if you are ignorant of history. That is why ideas that have failed repeatedly in centuries past reappear again, under the banner of 'change', to dazzle people and sweep them off their feet."

~Thomas Sowell

"How can we expect righteousness to prevail when there is hardly anyone willing to give himself up individually to a righteous cause? Such a fine, sunny day, and I have to go, but what does my death matter if through us, thousands of people are awakened and stirred to action?"

~Sophie Scholl

"Christians should live in the world, but not be filled with it. A ship lives in the water; but if the water gets into the ship, she goes to the bottom. So Christians may live in the world; but if the world gets into them, they sink."

~Dwight L. Moody

"It is not enough to be busy. So are the ants. The question is: What are we busy about?"

~Henry David Thoreau

"Silence in the face of evil is itself evil. God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act."

"We are told to let our light shine, and if it does, we won't need to tell anybody it does. Lighthouses don't fire cannons to call attention to their shining -- they just shine."
