Daily Christian quotes to direct, inspire, encourage, and help ordinary Christians in the rough and tumble of their daily lives!
Certainly, the very soul of prayer lies in the pouring out of a man’s soul before the Lord, though it be but in sighs, groans, and tears. One sign and groan from a broken heart is better pleasing to God than all human eloquence.
— Thomas Brooks (1608-1680)

More quotes from Thomas Brooks
A thanksgiving-day hath a double precedency of a fast-day. On a fast-day we eye God’s anger; on a thanksgiving-day we look to God’s favour. In the former we specially mind our corruptions; in the latter, God’s compassions; therefore a fast-day calls for sorrow, a thanksgiving-day for joy. But the Lord’s day is the highest thanksgiving day.
— George Swinnock (1627–1673)

The humble soul seeks more how to glorify God in afflictions, than how to get out of them.
— Thomas Brooks (1608-1680)
This Jesus Christ is the center… of the whole Scripture. The sum of divinity is the Scripture; the sum of the Scripture is the gospel; the sum of the gospel is Jesus Christ.
— Thomas Adams (1583-1652)
From “Semper Idem, or, The Immutable Mercy of Jesus Christ”
A man’s greatest care should be for that place where he lives longest; therefore, eternity should be his scope.
— Thomas Watson (c. 1620-1686)
