"The man that believes will obey; failure to obey is convincing proof that there is no true faith present. To attempt the impossible God must give faith or there will be none, and He gives faith to the obedient heart only." 

A. W. Tozer

Do not be surprised if there is an attack on your work, on you who are called to do it, on your innermost nature--the hidden person of the heart. The great thing is not to be surprised, nor to count it strange--for that plays into the hand of the enemy. Is it possible that anyone should set himself to exalt our beloved Lord and not instantly become a target for many arrows? - Amy Carmichael

"When people are forced to remain silent when they are being told the most obvious lies, or even worse when they are forced to repeat the lies themselves, they lose once and for all their sense of probity. To assent to obvious lies is to co-operate with evil, and in some small way to become evil oneself. One's standing to resist anything is thus eroded, and even destroyed. A society of emasculated liars is easy to control." - Theodore Dalrymple

“Some Day Someone is going to pick up this book (The Bible) and believe it, and put us all to shame.”

― Leonard Ravenhill-

The wonder of the grace of God is that God can take an unholy man out of a unholy world and make that man holy and put him back into a unholy world and keep him holy!

Jeremiah 6:16-Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk therein.

I meant to read the verse you shared before I commented.  I had to go back and look it up.  I am again Blessed that you reached out, that you connected me to a chapter with such meaning to you. 8 The voices of your watchmen—they lift up their voices, shouting for joy together; for every eye will see when the Lord returns to Zion  Isa 52:8

Bless you for reaching out in friendship.  I grew up with that painting of the old man Praying and Giving Thanks before he had his meal.  I am Honored and look forward to learning more about you.
