The way to Heaven is ascending; we must be content to travel uphill, though it be hard and tiresome, and contrary to the natural bias of our flesh.

Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758) The Christian Pilgrim

We look upon the enemy of our souls as a conquered foe, so he is, but only to God, not to us.

Oswald Chambers

When I was young, I was sure of many things; now there are only two things of which I am sure: one is, that I am a miserable sinner; and the other, that Christ is an all-sufficient Saviour. He is well-taught who learns these two lessons.

John Newton

That message must not be disguised in phrases that are no longer clear, or hidden under words that have changed or lost their meaning; it must be presented in language that is direct and plain and meaningful to people today.

Bruce M. Metzger

Mr Metzger sadly passed away not too long ago.  The words above are from the introduction to the NRSV Bible and with regards to modern Bible translation and the message of God’s dealing with mankind.

Modern mankind can go anywhere, do everything and be completely curious about the universe. But only a rare person now and then is curious enough to want to know God.

Tozer, A. W.

Angels rejoice over a sinner who repents, not because they understand Biblical theology.

D.M. Harris.

I posted this on a forum today, it’s quite profound I think.  

It was in response to the question, ‘Is belief in the Trinity essential to salvation’.

Am I in the hall of fame lol.

Btw, I believe the Trinity doctrine is spot on :)

Experience is the Lord’s school, and they who are taught by Him usually learn by the mistakes they make that in themselves they have no wisdom; and by their slips and falls, that they have no strength.

John Newton
