"When I see an ad in the paper by a local business, and it includes a cross or a fish, I tend to avoid that business. Either the businessman is a Christian or he is a fraud. If the latter, obviously I don't want to do business with him. If the former, he is praying on the street corner. Christianity should not be a marketing tool."
- Unknown -
"...A man who hears many sermons, is not necessarily well-instructed in the faith. We may read so many religious books, that we overload our brains, and they may be unable to work under the weight of the great mass of paper and of printer's ink. The man who reads but one book, and that book his Bible, and then meditates much upon it, will be a better scholar in Christ's school than he who merely reads hundreds of books, and meditates not at all."
- Charles Spurgeon -
"If the gospel were more faithfully preached, there would be fewer people professing to believe it."
- A. W. Pink -
"Everywhere there is apathy. Nobody cares whether that which is preached is true or false. A sermon is a sermon whatever the subject; only, the shorter it is the better."
- Charles Haddon Spurgeon -
"I grant freely that it costs little to be a mere outward Christian. A man has only got to attend a place of worship twice on sunday, and to be tolerably moral during the week, and he has gone as far as thousands around him ever go in religion. All this is cheap and easy work: it entails no self-denial or self-sacrifice. If this is saving Christianity, and will take us to heaven when we die, we must alter the description of the way of life, and write, "Wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to heaven!"
- J. C. Ryle -
"The taste of sin is sweet, but all the devil's apples got worms in them..."
- Unknown -
"To overemphasize the love of God while neglecting His justice is very dangerous, for instead of arousing the sinner to a true sense of his danger, it only makes him more complacent in his sin."
- Loraine Boettner -
"It no longer matters what people think of me, but what people think of God because of me."
- Unknown -
"God created man in His image, and ever since man has returned the favor."
- Unknown -
"Do not let man, believer or not, determine what you do or not do. Be willing to look foolish to both."
- Todd Evans, Atticus Fault -
"Feed your faith and your doubts will starve to death..."
- Unknown -
"A successful marriage isn't finding the right person - it's being the right person."
- Unknown -
"Too many people offer God prayers, with claw marks all over them."

- Sir William Bragg -
"Just as no one can be a scholar unless he learn his ABC, so you must learn the lesson of self-denial or you can never become a scholar in Christ's school, and be learned in this mystery of contentment."
- Jeremiah Burroughs -
"Common sense is the mark of the unspiritual life; gracious uncertainty is the mark of the spiritual life."
- Oswald Chambers -
"Believing that God is sovereign liberates you to obey from where you are, instead of regretting where you're not."

- Doug Wilson -
"The humble man serves the undeserving."
