“No one who has ever truly understood their own heart, their own guilt, and the holiness of God, could ever trade the finished work of Christ for the never-perfecting charade of the Romanist mass, the medieval myth of purgatory and indulgences, and the legion of alter Christi who daily attempt to sew up the rent veil.” – James White

“The demands of following Christ will cost you everything. But you gain far more than you give up. You give up dirt for diamonds.” – Steve Lawson

“Ever heard of anyone executed for distributing copies of Grimm’s fairy tales? Imagine people trying to smuggle copies of Hans Christian Andersen’s works into China? The Bible, which has been called a mere collection of myths has suffered all of these fates: even today, copies of the Bible are banned and burned. There’s something about this ancient book that threatens and frightens those in power.” – Eric Metaxas

“Just as a jeweler in a store will always use a black velvet background to display the splendor of an exquisite diamond, so the intricate, dazzling beauty of the gospel is only fully seen when we understand what the Bible says about man’s radical condition outside of Christ. Its a bleak and dark picture to be sure. Yet only when we understand the immensity of the problem can we find the right solution – and see the futility of all other man made remedies. We need far more than a moral pep talk; more than some medical first aid for our gaping wounds; and even more than even an oxygen mask to help us breathe more easily. What we need is a miracle! What we need is a resurrection!” – John Samson

“It is not hard to deceive ministers, relatives and friends. But it is impossible to deceive Christ.” – J. C. Ryle

C. H. Spurgeon on Roman Catholicism:

“We must have no truce, no treaty with Rome. War! War to the knife with her! Peace there cannot be. She cannot have peace with us – we cannot have peace with her. She hates the true Church; and we can only say that the hatred is reciprocated. We would not lay a hand upon her priests; we would not touch a hair of their heads. Let them be free: but their doctrine we would destroy from the face of the earth as the doctrine of devils. So let it perish, O God, and let that evil thing become as the fat of lambs. Into smoke let it consume: yea, into smoke let it consume away.”

“If you edit the Bible, it is not the Bible you believe but rather yourself.” – Augustine

“God is triune; there are within the Godhead three persons, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit; and the work of salvation is one in which all three act together, the Father purposing redemption, the Son securing it and the Spirit applying it.” – J. I. Packer

“If Jesus had preached the same message that ministers preach today, He would never have been crucified.” – Leonard Ravenhill

“The secret of prayer is praying in secret.” – Leonard Ravenhill

“Human will does not by liberty obtain grace, but by grace obtains liberty.” – John Calvin

“The difference between an unconverted man and a converted man is not that one has sins and the other does not; but that the one takes part with his cherished sins against a dreaded God, and the other takes part with a reconciled God against his hated sins.” – William Arnot, Laws From Heaven for Life On Earth (London, 1884), page 311.

“The gospel of Jesus Christ must be defended in every generation. It is always the center of attack by the forces of evil.” – R. C. Sproul

“If you love anything better than God you are idolaters: if there is anything you would not give up for God it is your idol: if there is anything that you seek with greater fervor than you seek the glory of God, that is your idol, and conversion means a turning from every idol.” – C. H. Spurgeon

“The Holy Spirit bestows on every believer a gift, or multiple gifts, to deploy in the family of God. And every Christian is accountable to steward these talents in the mission of the church.” – Unknown

“I would do many things to please my friends, but to go to hell to please them is more than I would venture. It may be very well to do this and that for good fellowship, but it will never do to lose the friendship of God in order to keep on good terms with men.” – C. H. Spurgeon

“Faith is not a blind thing; for faith begins with knowledge. It is not a speculative thing; for faith believes facts of which it is sure. It is not an unpractical, dreamy thing; for faith trusts, and stakes its destiny upon the truth of revelation.” – C. H. Spurgeon, All of Grace

“He who is a stranger to wonder is a stranger to God, for God is wonderful everyway, and everywhere, and everyhow.” – C. H. Spurgeon

“Unity without the gospel is a worthless unity; it is the very unity of hell.” – J.C. Ryle

“Almost no one will give faithfully and generously without planning to give faithfully and generously.” – Kevin DeYoung
