Thousands of people are quite willing to be saved by Christ, but when it comes to the very first step, namely, that Jesus must be accepted as ruler, lawgiver, master, king, and Lord, then they start back and reject eternal life. -C. H. Spurgeon (1834-1892 _Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit_, Volume 23 [1877]
'We are not diplomats but prophets, and our message is not a compromise but an ultimatum.’- A.W. Tozer
Nothing is more powerful to overcome temptation than the fear of God.- John Calvin @JohnCalvinDaily
"God's providence extends to every particular thing. He guides our incomings and outgoings; he disposes of our journeys; nay, his providence extends to the smallest things, to the sparrows and the the hairs of our heads; he governs every particular passage of our lives." Richard Sibbes
"The preacher must bring his message, nothing more; and he must deliver it in the name of Christ and with authority… He must not say: “Now, listen; this is my opinion, and I will show you why,” nor must he beg his audience: “Will you not please agree with me and accept what I say?” He must say: “THUS SAITH THE LORD!” For a preacher is an ambassador, and as such he must speak.- Herman Hoeksema , The Triple Knowledge, II: 412
