That is why God permits them. So rejoice when you find yourself there!" - Zac Poonen

Online! | Re: | | "I know I am speaking to people who have churches and who have a lot to do in churches. Remember this: You never lose so much as when you lose your peace. If the people see that you have lost your groundwork of peace, they know you have got outside of the position of victory. You have to possess your soul in peace. Strange things will happen in the church, things will look as though they were all contrary, and you will feel that the enemy is busy At that time possess your soul in peace. Let the people know that you have acquaintance with One Who, when He was reviled, reviled not again.
Let your patience be so possessed that you can suffer anything for the church or for your friends or for your neighbors, or anyone. Remember this: We build character in others as our character is built."
- Smith Wigglesworth

Online! | Re: | | “Christians are destined to bear a heavy cross in their life. It’s a difficult thing to say you believe in the Lord and also that you have ease of life in this life. Because, when you are having ease of life on earth, there is something wrong with yourself; you care about the gold of the land and not for the treasures of heaven. But when you think like this, you are far away from the will of God. Christian life and having ease in life do not go together; they are different things". - Saint Paisios the Athonite

Online! | Re: | | “If the poison of pride is swelling up in you, turn to the Eucharist; and that Bread, Which is your God humbling and disguising Himself, will teach you humility. If the fever of selfish greed rages in you, feed on this Bread; and you will learn generosity. If the cold wind of coveting withers you, hasten to the Bread of Angels; and charity will come to blossom in your heart. If you feel the itch of intemperance, nourish yourself with the Flesh and Blood of Christ, Who practiced heroic self-control during His earthly life; and you will become temperate. If you are lazy and sluggish about spiritual things, strengthen yourself with this heavenly Food; and you will grow fervent. Lastly, if you feel scorched by the fever of impurity, go to the banquet of the Angels; and the spotless Flesh of Christ will make you pure and chaste.” - St. Cyril of Alexandria

| Re: | | "Those christians who belong to the evangelical wing of the church (which I firmly believe is the only one that even approximates New Testament christianity) have over the last half century shown an increasing impatience with things invisible and eternal and have demanded and got a host of things visible and temporal to satisfy their fleshly appetites." - A.

Online! | Re: | | “We urgently need God to breathe upon us the spirit of true priesthood, and to touch and transform every aspect of our lives, our walk, and our ministry. There is a requirement to minister unto God before one ministers to men.” - Art Katz
“Priesthood is not a role to be performed behind the pulpit, and then discarded upon returning home…the mind continually needs to be brought unto the knowledge of ‘Holiness to the LORD.’ There would be much less brash and sourish ministry.” - Art Katz

Online! | Re: | | “I spent 14 years in communist prisons. We were there together – Catholics, Orthodox, Lutherans, Baptists, Pentecostals and so on. We suffered the same beatings and the same hunger, and each of us would have been equally glad if someone from outside had given us a piece of bread or a smuggled Bible. At that time nobody did these things." --Rev. Richard Wurmbrand
