We should ask God to increase our hope when it is small, awaken it when it is dormant, confirm it when it is wavering, strengthen it when it is weak, and raise it up when it is overthrown.
— John Calvin
Christians, Be Holy!
Now, Christians, the more great and glorious things you expect from God, as the downfall of antichrist, the conversion of the Jews, the conquest of the nations to Christ, the breaking of all yokes, the new Jerusalem’s coming down from above, the extraordinary pouring out of the Spirit, and a more general union among all saints, the more holy, yea, the more eminently holy in all your ways and actings it becomes you to be.
— Thomas Brooks
The Gospel
The Gospel was not meant merely to reside in our intellect, memories, and tongues — but to be seen in our lives.
— J. C. Ryle
Prayer and Faith
What an excellent ground of hope and confidence we have when we reflect upon these three things in prayer – the Father’s love, the Son’s merit, and the Spirit’s power!
— Thomas Manton
Consuming Fire
Out of Christ, God is a consuming fire. In Christ, God is a reconciled Father.
— Matthew Henry
