Dr. Leon Morris schreef:It is profoundly satisfying to the believer that in the last resort what matters is not his feeble hold on God, but God's strong grip on him.

Charles schreef:Blijf uit de buurt van Satans stierenogen. Tenzij je één van zijn pijlen in je zij wilt hebben! Houd je zo ver mogelijk van zijn doelwit van verleiding als je kan.

The christian in complete armour - William Gurnall

Ds. C.H. Spurgeon schreef:Free will has carried many souls to hell, but yet never a soul to heaven.

Ds. T. Keller schreef:If the criticism comes from someone who doesn’t know you at all (and often this is the case on the internet) it is possible that the criticism is completely unwarranted and profoundly mistaken. I am often pilloried not only for views I do have, but also even more often for views (and motives) that I do not hold at all. When that happens, it is even easier to fall into a smugness and perhaps be tempted to laugh at how mistaken your critics are. “Pathetic . . .” you may be tempted to say. Don’t do it. Even if there is not the slightest kernel of truth in what the critic says, you should not mock them in your thoughts. First, remind yourself of examples of your own mistakes, foolishness, and cluelessness in the past, times in which you really got something wrong. Second, pray for the critic, that he or she grows in grace.
