"Faith is saying, 'Here I am' before we know our mission. Fear is wanting to know our mission before we say, 'Here I am.'"

- Leonard Sweet

"Christians should not be optimists; we know too much about sin. We should also not be pessimists, for we know the living God."

- Timothy Keller

"God cannot give us a happiness and peace apart form Himself, because it is not there. There is no such thing."

- C.S. Lewis

"If you do not believe in regeneration, if you do not see its utter absolute necessity, then I do not see that you have any right to regard yourself as a Christian. If you do not see that you are so lost that nothing but receiving new life from God can reconcile you and take you to heaven, then you are lacking at a vital point, a point that is integral and belongs to the very integrity of faith."
- Martyn Lloyd-Jones

“People do not drift toward holiness. Apart from grace-driven effort, people do not gravitate toward godliness, prayer, obedience to Scripture, faith, and delight in the Lord. We drift toward compromise and call it tolerance; we drift toward disobedience and call it freedom; we drift toward superstition and call it faith. We cherish the indiscipline of lost self-control and call it relaxation; we slouch toward prayerlessness and delude ourselves into thinking we have escaped legalism; we slide toward godlessness and convince ourselves we have been liberated.” 
- D.A. Carson
