God sometimes washes the eyes of His children with tears, in order that they may read aright His providence and His commandments.
— Theodore Cuyler
Who Is Crazy?
The worldling thinks the real Christian is crazy, the Christian knows the poor worldling is spiritually insane.
— A. W. Pink
Christians
The saints of God are called His hidden ones – Psalm 83:3. Why so? Not only because they are hid in God’s decree, and hid in Christ’s wounds, but oftentimes God hides them in a time of danger and calamity. He reserved to Himself seven thousand that had not bowed the knee to Baal. The prophet knew not where there was one, but God knew there were seven thousand.
— Thomas Watson
A Christian Church
May a merciful God preserve me from a Christian Church in which everyone is a saint! I want to be and remain in the church and little flock of the faint-hearted, the feeble and the ailing, who feel and recognize the wretchedness of their sins, who sigh and cry to God incessantly for comfort and help, who believe in the forgiveness of sins.
— Martin Luther
The Word “Christian”
The meaning of the word “Christian” has been reduced to practically nothing. Surely, there is no word that has been so devalued unless it is the word “God” itself.
— Francis Schaeffer
