"I am not permitted to let my love be so merciful as to tolerate and endure false doctrine. When faith and doctrine are concerned and endangered, neither love nor patience are in order.... when these are concerned, neither toleration nor mercy are in order, but only anger, dispute, and destruction -- to be sure, only with the Word of God as our weapon."
- Martin Luther.
"It is our solemn conviction that where there can be no real spiritual communion there should be no pretence of fellowship. Fellowship with known and vital error is participation in sin."
- Charles Spurgeon.
"Showing mercy to the wolf is showing cruelty to the sheep."
- Puritan.
"Knowing God without knowing our wretchedness leads to pride.
Knowing our wretchedness without knowing God leads to despair.
Knowing Christ gives the balance."
- Blaise Pascal
"Let us think often that our only business in this life is to pleaseGod. Perhaps all besides is but folly and vanity."
- Brother Lawrence
"The greatest need we have is not to do things, but to believe things."
- Oswald Chambers
"Growth is not more knowledge or increase of years; it is simply more of Him and less of me. He increases as I decrease. This is what it means to be a disciple."
- Chip Brogden
"Worldliness is what any particular culture does to make sin look normal and righteousness look strange."
- David Wells
"Some say that faith is the gift of God. So is the air, but you have to breathe it; so is bread, but you have to eat it. Some are wanting some miraculous kind of feeling. That is not faith.
'Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God' (Rom 10:17).
That is whence faith comes. It is not for me to sit down and wait for faith to come stealing over me with a strong sensation, but is for me to take God at His Word."
- D. L. Moody
"Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth."
- Jesus Christ, Mark 9 v 23, KJV
