Do nothing on which you cannot pray for a blessing. Every action of a Christian that is good, is sanctified by the word and prayer. It becomes not a Christian to do anything so trivial, that he cannot pray over it.
—John Wesley
If you are ever tempted to think any promise of the Word too large and that you must discount it, remember that Christ is risen and that therein you have a proof and illustration of the “exceeding greatness of the power to us-ward who believe.”
—R. A. Torrey
God is always true to what He promises to do. He made promises to Abraham, Jacob, Moses, and Joshua, and did He not fulfill them? He will fulfill every word of what He has promised; yet how few take Him at His word!
—D. L. Moody
How often, as we ponder some new tender mercy, so undeserved, so dewy with the freshness of love that we long for words of glory to sing that love, we can only say, Lord, Thou knowest me. I am all open unto Thee—and yet Thou hast done this.
—Amy Carmichael
All these men that are trying to pick the Word of God to pieces, trying to destroy our confidence in the Word of God, tell us it is not true; but any one who has ever tried God, who has ever proved God, has found Him to be true.
—D. L. Moody
My God shall supply all your need according to His riches (Phil. 4:19). We lay those words before our Lord and we say to Him very earnestly, And now, O Lord, do as You have said.
—Amy Carmichael
AW Tozer:
“As a boy, I was not a Christian. I did not have the privilege of growing up in a home where Christ was known & loved.
God spoke to me through a street preacher who quoted the words of Jesus, “Come unto me, all ye that labour & are heavy laden & I will give you rest.”
I have not yet spoken my last word about women. I believe that if a woman succeeds in withdrawing from the mass, or rather raising herself from above the mass, she grows ceaselessly and more than a man.
—Arthur Schopenhauer
Have we a bitter zeal, inciting us to strive sharply and passionately with them that are out of the way? Or is our zeal the flame of love, so as to direct all our words with sweetness, lowliness, and meekness of wisdom?
—John Wesley
It was not to the unsaved that the words “Do not fret” were spoken, but to God-fearing persons capable of understanding spiritual things. We Christians need to watch & pray lest we fall into this temptation by an irritable spirit under the stress & strain of life.
—AW Tozer
All supposed leadings of God should be tested by the Word of God. The Bible is God’s revealed will. Any leading that contradicts the plain teaching of the Bible is certainly not the leading of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit does not contradict Himself.
—R. A. Torrey
Lest I should faint before the race be run,
Lest I should quail before the fight be won,
O heavenly Intercessor and my Lord,
Fulfill to me Thy comfortable word—
Thy Peter’s word. How can I be afraid
If Thou dost say to me, But I have prayed?
—Amy Carmichael
I have found that the man who believes in the Bible always comes out ahead in the long run, and that the man who is too wise and too advanced to believe the Word of God come out behind, in the long run, every time.
—R. A. Torrey
Christ pleads the cause of believers by his blood. Unlike other advocates, it is not enough for him to lay out only words, which is a cheaper way of pleading; but he pleads for us by the voice of his own blood (Heb.12:24).
—John Flavel
I have a Savior; though I sought
Through earth and air and sea,
I could not find a word, a thought,
To show Him worthily.
But planted here in rock and moss
I see the Sign of utmost loss;
I hear a word—On Calvary’s Cross
Love gave Himself for thee.
—Amy Carmichael
So let us praise Him now, though it may be from under the harrow, from the depths, from anywhere. We shall never have the chance again to love Him in the peace of a great contentment, with the word ringing in our ear, And blessed is he whosoever shall not be offended in Me.
—Amy Carmichael
Silence sometimes speaks louder than words.
“The four most dangerous words in investing: It’s different this time.”
— John Templeton
In a word if you tell me you have a personality problem I am not certain until I know you better whether to say ‘Good!’ or ‘I’m sorry.’ It depends on the reasons. And these, it seems, may be good reasons, or they may be good reasons.
In a word, growth and improvement can come through pain and conflict.
— Abraham Maslow
All the benefits that Christ by his Spirit gives to the church and to every believer can be summarized under one word: grace (John 1:16). But this one word implies a wealth of blessings.
—Herman Bavinck
“Trust in God to fulfill his Word to you, and it will be done.”
He who talks a lot does little. A wise person is always afraid that his words will be greater than his deeds. Therefore, he’s more usually silent and speaks only when it is necessary for others rather than himself.
—Leo Tolstoy

Dark and gloomy would be the world, if we were left to our own devices and had no blessed Word of God.
—J. Gresham Machen

Faith . . . reaches out in a single act to the person of Christ as well as to Scripture. It embraces Christ as Savior and Scripture as the word of God.
—Herman Bavinck
True words seem paradoxical.
—Laozi
My friends, let us take God at His word. Let us try Him. Let us prove Him. We will find that God is true.
—D. L. Moody
