There is no way that Christians, in a private capacity, can do so much to promote the work of God and advance the kingdom of Christ as by prayer.
— Jonathan Edwards (1703–1758)
Incarnation of Jesus Christ
The glory of the incarnation is that it presents to our adoring gaze not a humanized God or a deified man, but a true God-man – one who is all that God is and at the same time all that man is: one on whose almighty arm we can rest, and to whose human sympathy we can appeal.
— Benjamin B. Warfield (1851–1921)
Liberty
Wherefore, though the Christian, as a Christian, is the only man at liberty, as called thereunto of God; yet his liberty is limited to things that are good: he is not licensed thereby to indulge the flesh.
— John Bunyan (1628–1688)
The Decrees of God
Whate’er my God ordains is right: Holy His will abideth;
I will be still whate’er He doth, And follow where He guideth:
He is my God; Though dark my road,
He holds me that I shall not fall;
Wherefore to Him I leave it all.
— Samuel Rodigast (1649-1708)
The House of God
We read not that Christ ever exercised force but once, and that was to drive profane ones out of His temple, not to force them in.
— John Milton (1608–1674)
