“There is a greater Christian faith than one which settles for the temporal happiness, and that is the augmentation of faith. The more faithful you become, the harder the obstacles get; but the harder the obstacles get, the tougher your spine grows; and the tougher your spine grows, the less dependent you are on man's approval. I came to know this about Christianity when valuing faith before comfort.” KnowsMenChristianGrowsChristianityGreaterComfortHarderObstaclesSettlingFaithfulDependentApprovalSpineChristian Faith Book:Killosophy Source: Killosophy
“If the Almighty in his mercy allows us to settle peace among the christian leaders, we shall press on not only to destroy completely the bad seeds, but also to expand the territories of Christ, and, supported by these achievements, we shall go forward, with God favouring his own purposes, to the most holy expedition against the infidels, the desire for which is deeply fixed in our heart.” IfsHeartChristianDesirePurposeChristLeaderHolyAchievementMercyPressesSeedsSettlingFixedTerritoryAlmightyInfidelExpeditionsChristian LeadersBad Seed Author:Pope Leo X
“Christians actually need to be confronted by their real need-an understanding of God's holiness and their own sinfulness-so they can be usable to Him for His Glory.

We are still to need other needs but it begins with a high view of God.” NeedsStillsRealChristianUnderstandingViewsOur LivesGloryAspectSettlingHolinessSinfulness Author:John F. MacArthur
“Christians alone are in a position to rescue the perishing. We dare not settle down to try to live as if things were 'normal.'
