“The church must never be satisfied to preach to “respectable” people only, but should continually be engaged in evangelizing those who have fallen into sin or who religiously are outsiders.  If Jesus came not to call the righteous but sinners to repentance, this is also the supreme function of His church.”  Norval Geldenhuys

“It is by no means shameful to trust God: on the contrary it is a point of honour with good men to trust in Him who is faithful and true; and if they have to suffer for it they do so joyfully.  Gird yourselves, therefore, with a holy courage, you who are learning through grace to live upon the promise of God by faith.”  Charles H. Spurgeon  (1834-1892)

Love, flowing from the heart of Jesus into the heart of a poor, believing sinner, expelling selfishness, melting coldness, conquering sinfulness, and drawing that heart up in a simple and unreserved surrender, is, of all principles of action, the most powerful.”  Octavius Winslow  (1808-1878)

“And it is remarkable that it is the hunger and thirst for righteousness, and not the possession of it, that is pronounced blessed.  To believe oneself to be in possession of righteousness, like the Pharisee in the parable, is fatal.”  (Alfred Plummer; 1841-1926)

“Fear ye not.  What shall they fear, above whose head the Gospel-standard floats?  Faith reads thereon, ‘If God be for us, who can be against us?’  Rom. 8:31.  But use no fruitless efforts.  The waves are deep.  The foes are strong.  There is no help in self.  ‘Stand still.’  Leave all to God.”  Henry Law  (1797-1844)

“I would recommend it to those desirous of having the impediments which hinder them from applying by faith to Christ, removed; and by divine help, would learn the happy way of going first to the promises of Christ, and then therewith to Christ himself; and in this way daily living on him and deriving from him all their strength and blessedness.”  Thomas Prince  (1687–1758)
