September Quotes

We should not shrink from opportunities where our faith may be tried. The more I am in a position to be tried in faith, the more I will have the opportunity of seeing God’s help and deliverance. Every fresh instance in which He helps and delivers me will increase my faith.

Thus his faith will be strengthened. —George Muller

The church must seek to be biblical rather than relevant. We are not going to leave a mark upon our culture because we have studied its ways and adapted ourselves to it.

Contrary to popular opinion, the most important characteristic of a godly mother is not her relationship with her children. It is her love for her husband.

The properly situated family has marriage at the center; families shouldn't revolve around the children. —John MacArthur
