 If you reject God's best for you, then He tries to get you to realize His second best. If you reject this, then He seeks to bring you to the next best. But remember this, God cannot, in the very nature of things, make as much out of a fraction of a life as He can out of the whole of a life. Author: Clovis G. Chappell |

| If you find a reluctancy to go into the presence of God, there may be unconfessed, unrepented sin in your life. Part of your quiet time is to get your heart clean and pure. Each of us needs to take ourselves by the nap of our necks and confess and repent before we come into God's holy presence to fellowship. Author: Adrian Rogers |
| What's done in secret is never a secret to God. Author: Woodrow Kroll |
| We are only safe when we wisely make use of all good advantages that we have access to. By going out of God's ways we go out of His government, and so lose our good frame of mind, and find ourselves overspread quickly with a contrary disposition. When we draw near to Christ (James 4:8), in His ordinances, He draws near to us. Author: Richard Sibbes |
| That which a man spits against heaven, shall fall back on his own face. Author: Thomas Adams |

| The tragedy of life and of the world is not that men do not know God; the tragedy is that, knowing Him, they still insist on going their own way. Author: William Barclay |
| This generation of Americans feel as if they have a graduate degree in understanding. Since they think they know everything there is to know, they think they don't need God. Author: Shelton Smith |
| I believe prayer for our nation has never been more important as we witness an accelerating anti-Christian fervor in the so-called mainstream of our culture. Author: Jonathan Falwell |
| Today's civil libertarians ignore our unmistakable history when they attempt to stifle religious expression in our nation. Author: Jonathan Falwell |
| He had, when in health, wickedly refused Christ, yet in his death-agony, he had superstitiously sent for me. Too late, he sighed for the ministry of reconciliation, and sought to enter in at the closed door, but he was not able. There was no space left him then for repentance, for he had wasted the opportunities which God had long granted to him. Author: Charles Spurgeon

| I believe the man who is not willing to submit to the electing love and sovereign grace of God has great reason to question whether he is a Christian at all, for the spirit that kicks against that is the spirit of the unhumbled, unrenewed heart. Author: Charles Spurgeon
