“Like infants, when they are born into the world, God's children are not born again in the full possession of their spiritual faculties; and it is well and wisely ordered that it is so. What we win easily, we seldom value sufficiently. The very fact that believers have to struggle and fight hard before they get hold of real soundness in the faith, helps to make them prize it more when they have attained it. The truths that cost us a battle are precisely those which we grasp most firmly, and never let go.”
― J.C. Ryle, Christian Leaders of the 18th Century

“No flattery can heal a bad conscience, so no slander can hurt a good one.”

“An idle life and a holy heart is a contradiction.”
― Thomas Brooks
