The white devil of spiritual sin is far more dangerous than the black devil of carnal sin because the wiser, the better men are without Christ, the more they are likely to ignore and oppose the Gospel. - Luther

What a shame is it that many who are called Christians should show so much affectation to adorn their bodies with fine clothes and are altogether careless about the hidden man of the heart.

“They are madmen who seek their own salvation, or that of others, in the whirlpool of predestination, not keeping the way of salvation which is exhibited to them.”—“To every man, therefore, his faith is a sufficient attestation of the eternal predestination of God.” - Calvin

Holiness provokes hatred. The greater the holiness, the greater the human hostility toward it. No man was ever more loving than Jesus Christ. Yet even His love made people angry. His love was perfect, a holy love... This kind of love is so majestic we can't stand it. RC Sproul

Prayer is the mightiest engine God has placed in our hands. It is the best weapon to use in every difficulty and the surest remedy in every trouble. It is the key that unlocks the treasury of promises and the hand that draws forth grace and help in time of need. - JC Ryle

Breaking the marital covenant & shuttling kids between homes every other weekend is making children do impossibly difficult things so the adults didn’t have to, & our culture has totally normalized it.

If you give children the impression that to be religious is to be miserable and that it consists of prohibitions and constant repression, you may well drive them into the arms of the devil and into the world. - MLJ

A carnal spirit makes *more* of his sufferings - and *less* of his sins; he looks upon one at the great end of the telescope - but upon the other at the little end of the telescope.

“There is nothing that characterizes… a Christian so much as desires. … Words and actions may be counterfeit, but the desires and affections cannot, because they are the immediate issues and productions of the soul. A man by his desires may know who he is.” — Richard Sibbes

A day appointed for review of all that men have done in time, and a final decision of their state for eternity. A day fixed in the counsel of God, cannot be altered and cannot be known. A day of decision, of recompence, a day that will put a final end to all the days of time -MH

Remember that the doctrine of repentance does then take place, when men, who would naturally desire to flatter themselves, are awaked with fear of God’s judgment and that none are fit teachers of the gospel but those who are the criers or advocates of the highest Judge - Calvin

When lust or rash anger burns in the soul, Satan warms himself at this fire. Men's sins feast the devil.

Some of the biggest cases of mistaken identity are among intellectuals who have trouble remembering that they are not God.

We are never more safe, never have more reason to expect the Lord's help, than when we are most sensible that we can do nothing without Him. - John Newton

Destroy church buildings, Christ will build His church. Suppress religious freedom, Christ will build His church. Arrest pastors, Christ will build His church. Governments, tyrants, ideologies, and dictators can’t stop Christ from building His church.

Eudoxus (a Greek astronomer c.350 BC) was so affected with the glory of the sun, that he thought he was born only to behold it; much more should a Christian judge himself born only to behold and delight in the glory of the Lord Jesus.
