Chosen for the Fight

"The Lord has chosen, called, and armed us for the fight! Shall we wish to be excused from the battle? Shall we not rather rejoice that we have the honor to appear in such a cause, under such a Captain, with such a banner, and in such a company?" --John Newton

Giving Thanks

"The worst moment for the atheist is when he is really thankful and has nobody to thank." --Dante Gabriel Rossetti

More and Simpler

“The more we know of God, the more unreservedly we will trust him; the greater our progress in theology, the simpler and more child-like will be our faith.” --J. Gresham Machen

An Embassy from Heaven

"An embassy from Heaven is waiting to be heard; it is charged with the tidings of an atonement for sin wherewith God is satisfied, and whereby our own deepest satisfaction is won; for we lie under and peremptory invitation to look unto Christ." --Thomas Chalmers

Not a Chance

"God is very good to those who trust in Him, and often surprises them with unlooked for blessings. Little do we know what may happen to us in the future; but this sweet fact should cheer us--that nothing which is really good for us--shall be withheld from us! The word chance is banished from the Christian's vocabulary--for we see the hand of God in everything. The seemingly trivial events of today or tomorrow, may involve consequences of the highest importance." --Charles Haddon Spurgeon
