“However earnestly and frequently a man prays, if he does nothing to help his poor neighbor, then we may well question the value of his prayers.”

John Owen

“Not anything that God sees good for them shall those men want (lack) that fear the Lord. If health will do them good, if sickness will do them good, if riches will do them good, if poverty will do them good, if life will do them good, if death will do them good, then they shall not want (lack) them, neither will any of these things come nigh them.”

John Bunyan

“The foundation of worship in the heart . . . is not emotional (‘I feel full of worship’ or ‘The atmosphere is so worshipful’). Actually it is theological. Worship is not something we ‘work up’ , it is something that ‘comes down’ to us, from the character of God.”

Sinclair Ferguson

God is glorified not only by His glory’s being seen, but by its being rejoiced in. When those that see it delight in it, God is more glorified than if they only see it. His glory is then received by the whole soul, both by the understanding and by the heart.

Jonathan Edwards

“Christ will not leave us till he has made us like himself, all glorious within and without, and presented us blameless before his Father.”

Richard Sibbes

“We ought to be so versed in Scripture as to always have at the tip of our tongue the promise that most exactly meets our case. We ought to be transcripts of Scripture. The divine promise should be as much written upon our hearts as upon the pages of the Book.”

Charles Spurgeon
