Temptation

“A good character is the best tombstone. Those who loved you and were helped by you will remember you when forget-me-nots have withered. Carve your name on hearts, not on marble.” - C. H. Spurgeon

Character

"Satan promises the best, but pays with the worst; he promises honor, and pays with disgrace; he promises pleasure, and pays with pain; he promises profit, and pays with loss; he promises life, and pays with death. But God pays as he promises; all his payments are made in pure gold." - Thomas Brooks

"The devil is most devilish when respectable." - Elizabeth Barrett Browning

"The appearance of religion on Sunday proves it is only an appearance." - Adams

"Jesus is more concerned with who you are than what you do because He knows who you are determines what you do." - Robert Flatt

Outward Appearances

"All religions are not the same. All religions do not point to God. All religions do not say that all religions are the same. At the heart of every religion is an uncompromising commitment to a particular way of defining who God is or is not and accordingly, of defining life's purpose." - Ravi Zacharias

Religion

"We must learn to live with them [problems] until such time as God delivers us from them...Problems patiently endured will work for our spiritual perfecting." - A. W. Tozer

Problems

"Meekness is marked by silence in the face of abuse and infamy, by submission to God's way, which is higher than our way as heaven is higher than the earth, by submissiveness to others for their welfare. It is the source of inexpressible joy and contentment." - V. Raymond Edman

Meekness

"What the Church needs today is not more machinery or better, not new organizations or more and novel methods, but men whom the Holy Ghost can use--men of prayer, men mighty in prayer. The Holy Ghost does not flow through methods, but through men. He does not come on machinery, but on men. He doesn not anoint plans, but men, men of prayer."

- E. M. Bounds

Prayer

"To live life within the will of God, stay at the ALTAR:
Abide in Christ because you are His.
Listen intently for His call and avoid distractions.
Trust the Lord because He's in control.
Acknowledge His way, whether it seems right to you or not.
Respond in fearless obedience because God goes before you."
