Andrew Murray quotes:

1.  “A dead Christ I must do everything for; a living Christ does everything for me.”
2.  “Christ is the humility of God embodied in human nature; the Eternal Love humbling itself, clothing itself in the garb of meekness and gentleness, to win and serve and save us.”
3.  “Faith expects from God what is beyond all expectation.”
4.  “Our love to God is measured by our everyday fellowship with others and the love it displays.”
5.  “Men ought to seek with their whole hearts to be filled with the Spirit of God. Without being filled with the Spirit, it is utterly impossible that an individual Christian or a church can ever live or work as God desires.”
6 . “God has no more precious gift to a church or an age than a man who lives as an embodiment of his will, and inspires those around him with the faith of what grace can do.”
7.  “Prayer is not monologue, but dialogue. God’s voice in response to mine is its most essential part.”
8.  “Let it be your business every day, in the secrecy of the inner chamber, to meet the holy God. You will be repaid for the trouble it may cost you. The reward will be sure and rich.”
9.  “Pride must die in you, or nothing of heaven can live in you.”
10.  “We must begin to believe that God, in the mystery of prayer, has entrusted us with a force that can move the Heavenly world, and can bring its power down to earth.”   
"Your heart is by nature like Marah’s water, bitter and impure.  There is a certain tree, you know its name, that tree on which the Saviour hung, the cross.  Take that tree, put it into your heart, and though it were even more impure than it is, that sweet cross applied by the Holy Spirit, would soon transform it into its own nature and make it pure. “

“The cross in the heart is the purifier of the soul; it purges and it cleanses the chambers of the mind.  Christian!  Keep thy heart pure, “for out of it are the issues of life”

“Let us all remember that the only way to keep our life peaceful and happy is to keep the heart at rest; for come poverty, come wealth, come honor, come shame, come plenty, or come scarcity, if the heart be quiet there will be happiness anywhere.”

Quotes from Spurgeon’s sermons on Proverbs.

Scripture speaks about God working everything together "for the good" of those who love him (Rom. 8:28). But what is this "good?" It consists of believers being conformed (changed and remade) to the image of Christ (Rom. 8:29). Thus, all the experiences of life are intended, under the sovereign hand of God, to help us to grow towards the great goal of the Christian life - Christ-likeness.

Sinclair Ferguson 

How you view God determines the quality and style of your Christian experience. Many Christians spend much of their lives paralyzed because, although they have trusted Christ as Saviour, they have never really seen what His sacrifice teaches us about the character of God. He gave His Son; He sent His Son; He "handed over" His Son because He loves us.

Sinclair Ferguson

John Piper said: 

“The fuel of worship is a true vision of the greatness of God; the fire that makes the fuel burn white hot is the quickening of the Holy Spirit; the furnace made alive and warm by the flame of truth is our renewed spirit; and the resulting heat of our affections is powerful worship, pushing its way out in confessions, longings, acclamations, tears, songs, shouts, bowed heads, lifted hands, and obedient lives.”

Arthur W. Pink said:

"An honest heart loves the Truth"

"An honest heart is open to the Word"

"An honest heart ceases fighting against God"

Billy Graham said:

“The will of God will not take us where the grace of God cannot sustain us.”

“God never takes away something from your life without replacing it with something better.” 

“I've read the last page of the Bible, it's all going to turn out all right.”
