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)
Preparation for Prayer
Each time, before you intercede, be quiet first, and worship God in His glory. Think of what He can do, and how He delights to hear the prayers of His redeemed people. Think of your place and privilege in Christ, and expect great things!
— Andrew Murray (1828-1917)
Revelation
Revelation is a divine activity; not, therefore, a human achievement. Revelation is not the same thing as discovery or the dawning of insight, or the emerging of a bright idea. Revelation does not mean man finding God, but God finding man, God sharing his secrets with us, God showing us himself.
— J. I. Packer (1926–2020)
Assurance
Prayer crowns God with the honour and glory that are due His name, and God crowns prayer with assurance and comfort. Usually the most praying souls are the most assured souls.
— Thomas Brooks (1608–1680)
The Preciousness of Christ
Grace is a ring of gold, and Christ is the sparkling diamond in that ring.
— Thomas Brooks (1608–1680)
