“Lower the Law and you dim the light by which man perceives his guilt; this is a very serious loss to the sinner rather than a gain; for it lessens the likelihood of his conviction and conversion. I say you have deprived the gospel of its ablest auxiliary [its most powerful weapon] when you have set aside the Law. You have taken away from it the schoolmaster that is to bring men to Christ . . . They will never accept grace till they tremble before a just and holy Law. Therefore the Law serves a most necessary purpose, and it must not be removed from its place.” MenLightLawPurposeChristLossPowerfulAcceptingTakenGraceSeriousHolyWeaponsGainsGuiltConvictionConversionPerceiveSinnerMost PowerfulDeprivedLikelihoodPowerful Weapons Author:Charles Spurgeon
“So if God should place me in serious perplexity, must He not give me much guidance; in places of great difficulty, much grace; in circumstances of great pressure and trial, much strength? No fear that HIs resources will prove unequal to the emergency! And His resources are mine, for He is mine, and is with me and dwells in me.” IfsGivingShouldGraceMinesSeriousCircumstancesProveResourcesGive MeDifficultyPressureTrialsGuidanceNo FearEmergenciesPerplexity Author:Hudson Taylor

“People can be extraordinarily resilient and show extraordinary grace and humour even in moments of tribulation. I've always found that it's much easier for people who are not terribly, badly off to lose hope and to be pessimistic. I suppose that when you are in a really serious situation, you have to be present, you have to think about it, there's not much scope for self-pity.” PeopleThinkingMomentsSituationGraceHumourSeriousExtraordinaryPessimisticResilientTribulation Author:Arundhati Roy
