Aspire to be something more than the mass of church members. Lift up your cry to God and beseech him to fire you with a nobler ambition than that which possesses the common Christian — that you may be found faithful unto God at the last, and may win many crowns for your Lord and Master, Christ.
— C. H. Spurgeon (1834 – 1892)
God sweetens outward pain with inward peace.
— Thomas Watson (1620-1686)
Christian, let God’s distinguishing love to you be a motive for you to fear Him greatly. He has put His fear in your heart, and may not have given that blessing to your neighbor, perhaps not to your husband, your wife, your child, or your parent.
Oh, what an obligation should this thought lay upon your heart to greatly fear the Lord! Remember also that the fear of the Lord is His treasure, a choice jewel, given only to favorites, and to those who are greatly beloved.
— John Bunyan (1628–1688)
Consider how careful you would be if your thoughts were written on your forehead.
— Richard Baxter (1615-1691)
