When the church ceases to be a pillar and buttress of the truth, it ceases to be the church of the living God.

1 Timothy 3:15

“It is impossible that any ill should happen to the man who is beloved of the Lord. Ill to him is no ill, but only good in a mysterious form. Losses enrich him, sickness is his medicine, reproach is his honour, death is his gain.”

Charles Spurgeon
