March Quotes

Many folks want to serve God, but only as advisers.

~Unknown

There is no way to peace along the way of safety. For peace must be dared, it is itself the great venture and can never be safe. Peace is the opposite of security. To demand guarantees is to want to protect oneself. Peace means giving oneself completely to God's commandment, wanting no security, but in faith and obedience laying the destiny of the nations in the hand of Almighty God, not trying to direct it for selfish purposes. Battles are won, not with weapons, but with God. They are won when the way leads to the cross.

~Dietrich Bonhoeffer

I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else. 

~C. S. Lewis

This is the surest way to victory. Yield everything but what it would be wrong to yield. Never grow angry. Keep cool, and let the railing be all on one side.

~C.H. Spurgeon

It is a mercy to have a faithful friend that loveth you entirely 

to whom you may open your mind and communicate your affairs. 

And it is a mercy to have so near a friend to be a helper to your soul

and to stir you up in the grace of God. 

~Richard Baxter

Herein we may perceive how the Lord reserves the hardest tasks for the most experienced and mature of His servants.

~A.W. Pink

God saved you for Himself;

God saved you by Himself;

God saved you from Himself.

~Paul Washer

Today’s obedience is the only true provision for tomorrow, and those who are anxious about the morrow are all the more likely to bring its troubles upon them by the neglect of duty which care brings.

~George McDonald (The Laird's Inheritance)

The march of Providence is so slow and our desires so impatient; the work of progress so immense and our means of aiding it so feeble; the life of humanity is so long, that of the individual so brief, that we often see only the ebb of the advancing wave and are thus discouraged. 

It is history that teaches us to hope.

~Robert Edward Lee

I have no doubt that where there is much love there will be much to love, and where love is scant faults will be plentiful.

~C.H. Spurgeon

A thing is not necessarily true because badly uttered, nor false because spoken magnificently.

~Augustine of Hippo

Consider how august a privilege it is, when angels are present, and archangels throng around, when cherubim and seraphim encircle with their blaze the throne, that a mortal may approach with unrestrained confidence, and converse with heaven’s dread Sovereign! O, what honor was ever conferred like this? 

~John Chrysostom
