Martin Luther


Believe in Jesus Christ, crucified for thy sins. If thou feel thy sins, and the burden thereof, look not upon them in thyself, but remember that they are translated and laid upon Christ, whose stripes have made thee whole. This is the beginning of health and salvation.

J.C. Ryle

Would I gather arguments for hoping that I shall never be cast away? Where shall I go to find them? I will look at Calvary and the crucifixion. This is my grand argument: this is my mainstay. I cannot think that He who went through such sufferings to redeem my soul, will let that soul perish after all, when it has once cast itself on Him. Oh, no! What Jesus paid for Jesus will surely keep. He paid dearly for it: He will not let it easily be lost. He died for me when I was yet a dark sinner: He will never forsake me after I have believed.

Albert Einstein

The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the level of thinking we were at when we created them.

Thomas Wilcox


“In every duty look at Christ; before duty, to pardon; in duty, to assist; after duty, to accept. Without this it is but carnal, careless duty. Do not legalize the gospel as if part remained for you to do, or suffer, and Christ were but a half Mediator; as if you must bear part of your own sin, and make some satisfaction. Let sin break your heart, but not your hope in the gospel.”

William Carey

Expect great things from God, attempt great things for God

C.S. Lewis

"Every time you make a choice you are turning the central part of you, the part of you that chooses, into something a little different from what it was before.  And taking your life as a whole, with all your innumerable choices, all your life long you are slowly turning this central thing either into a heavenly creature or into a hellish creature...each of us at each moment is progressing to one state or the other."
