Even the mixed imperfect pleasures we enjoy in this world, are rather from God's goodness than our merit, how much more such happiness of heaven!"

Beth Moore - "It is not about never doubting, it is about coming out on the other side with twice the faith you had going into your doubt."
Beth Moore - "Let's all wise up. Some of us aren't fighting the fire; we're playing with fire. Flirting with the devil. Stop it! Stop it now before all hell literally breaks loose."
Beth Moore - "No matter what authority Satan and his subjects have temporarily been allowed in this world system, Christ can pull rank anytime He wants to."
Beth Moore - "No sin, no matter how momentarily pleasurable, comforting, or habitual, is worth missing what God has for us."
Beth Moore - "Satan knows that the only offensive weapon we have to raise against him is the sword of the Spirit, the Word of God. He can't keep it from being powerful, but if he can tempt us to think little of it, he knows it will never be powerful in us."

Beth Moore - "The Bible teaches that there are no lost causes. No permanent pit-dwellers except those who refuse to leave."

Billy Graham - "God does not comfort us to make us comfortable, but to make us comforters."
Billy Graham - "The happiness which brings enduring worth to life is not the superficial happiness that is dependent on circumstances. It is the happiness and contentment that fills the soul even in the midst of the most distressing circumstances and the most bitter environments. It is the kind of happiness that grins when things go wrong and smiles through the tears."
Billy Graham - "The most eloquent prayer is the prayer through hands that heal and bless. The highest form of worship is the worship of unselfish Christian service. The greatest form of praise is the sound of consecrated feet seeking out the lost and helpless."
Billy Graham - "We have resorted to every means to win back the position that Adam lost. We have tried through education, through philosophy, through religion, through governments to throw off our yoke of depravity and sin. All our knowledge, all our inventions, all our developments and ambitious plans move us ahead only a very little before we drop back again to the point from which we started. For we are still making the same mistake that Adam made - - we are still trying to be king in our own right, and with our own power, instead of obeying God's law."
Billy Graham - "When our faith becomes nothing more than a series of rules and regulations, joy flees and our love for Christ grows cold."

Blaise Pascal - "Faith is different from proof; the latter is human, the former is a Gift from God."
Blaise Pascal - "How can anyone lose who chooses to become a Christian? If, when he dies, there turns out to be no God and his faith was in vain, he has lost nothing - in fact, he has been happier in life than his nonbelieving friends. If, however, there is a God and a heaven and hell, then he has gained heaven and his skeptical friends will have lost everything in hell!"
Blaise Pascal - "It is the conduct of God, who disposes all things kindly, to put religion into the mind by reason, and into the heart by grace."
Blaise Pascal - "I would have far more fear of being mistaken, and of finding that the Christian religion was true, than of not being mistaken in believing it true."
Blaise Pascal - “Let us weigh up the gain and loss involved in calling heads that God exists. If you win, you win everything. If you lose, you lose nothing. Do not hesitate, then: wager that He does exist.”
Blaise Pascal - "Nothing is so important to man as his own state, nothing is as formidable as his eternity; and thus it is not natural that there should be men indifferent to the loss of their existence and the perils of everlasting suffering."
Blaise Pascal - "People are generally better persuaded by the reasons they themselves have discovered than by those which have come into the mind of others."
Blaise Pascal - “reason’s final step is to recognize that there are an infinite number of things which surpass it.”
Blaise Pascal - "We should seek the truth without hesitation; and, if we refuse it, we show that we value the esteem of men more than the search for truth."
Bruce Barton - "The Bible rose to the place it now occupies because it deserved to rise to that place, and not because God sent anybody with a box of tricks to prove its divine authority."
Bruce Barton - "Voltaire spoke of the Bible as a short-lived book. He said that within a hundred years it would pass from common use. Not many people read Voltaire today, but his house has been packed with Bibles as a depot of a Bible society."
Benjamin Disraeli - "The secret of success is consistency of purpose."
