Worship
William Temple
“To worship is to quicken the conscience by the holiness of God, to feed the mind with the truth of God, to purge the imagination by the beauty of God, to open the heart to the love of God, to devote the will to the purpose of God.”
– William Temple
True Faith
True Faith
“Faith without works is not faith at all,
but a simple lack of obedience to God”
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Adversity and Faith
Adversity and Faith
Charles Spurgeon
“No stars gleam as brightly as those which glisten in the polar sky. No water tastes so sweet as that which springs amid the desert sand. And no faith is so precious as that which lives and triumphs through adversity. Tested faith brings experience. You would never have believed your own weakness had you not needed to pass through trials. And you would never have known God’s strength had His strength not been needed to carry you through.”
– Charles Spurgeon
