Sermons & Devotionals by Grace Quotes

by Toplady To unconverted persons, a great part of the Bible resembles a letter written in ciphers. The blessed Spirit's office is to act as God's decipherer, by letting His people into the secret of celestial experience, as the key and clew to those sweet mysteries of grace which were before as a g...

(Henry Law, "Psalms") "In his pride the wicked does not seek Him; in all his thoughts there is no room for God." Psalm 10:4 The Spirit proceeds to draw a full blown portrait of sin. The mask is withdrawn. The monster is dragged forth to light. The hideous features are revealed. The Spirit's pen cann... Read More

(James, "The Widow Directed to the Widow's God" 1841) "And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose."

(J. C. Philpot, "Meditations on Ephesians") "All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our sinful nature, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind. Like the rest, we were by nature objects of wrath." Ephesians 2:3 We may observe here a distinction drawn by th... Read More

(From Octavius Winslow's, "The Banquet") We lose much blessing and God much honor, by not more simply and implicitly living upon His providential care. Those who see God's goodness in all their temporal supplies; who recognize His superintending and molding hand, ordering and shaping all the events;... Read More

By Spurgeon In all our wanderings, the watchful glance of the Eternal Watcher is evermore fixed upon us-- we never roam beyond the Shepherd's eye. In our sorrows, He observes us incessantly, and not a pain escapes Him. In our toils, He marks all our weariness and writes in His book all the struggles... Read More

Edwards, "Sinners In Zion Tenderly Warned" "But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens will disappear with a roar, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up." 2 Peter 3:10 The heat of that ...

(Joseph Philpot, "Daily Words for Zion's Wayfarers") "The human heart is most deceitful and desperately wicked. Who really knows how bad it is?" Jerem. 17:9 The sin of our fallen nature is a very mysterious thing. We read of "the mystery of iniquity". Sin has depths which no human plumbline ever fat... Read More

by Thomas Vincent The fire of God's anger before it breaks forth into so vehement a flame may now be quenched by the blood of Jesus Christ; and the fire of hell may be prevented. But hereafter it will be too late. No sacrifice will be accepted then to appease God's wrath, and if all the waters of th... Read More

by John McDuff "The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord." Job 1:21 Noble posture this; to kneel and to adore! To see no hand but ONE! Sabeans; Fire; Whirlwind; Sword; are all overlooked. The Patriarch recognizes alone "The Lord" who gave and "The Lord" who has tak... Read More

Don Fortner The god of this apostate generation no more resembles the God of the Bible than a gnat resembles an angel. The puny, pygmy, frustrated god of our day, is an idol carved from the trees which grow wild in the dark forests of their depraved minds. The God of the Bible is infinitely and inde... Read More

by A.W. Pink The "god" of this twentieth century no more resembles the Supreme Sovereign of Holy Writ than does the dim flickering of a candle the glory of the mid-day sun. The god who is now talked about in the average pulpit, spoken of in the ordinary Sunday School, mentioned in most of the religi... Read More

from Octavius Winslow's, "Christ, the Alpha and Omega" Jesus is the one great theme both of the Old Testament and the New.

(John Angell James, "Christian Love" 1828) "People will be lovers of themselves." 2 Timothy 3:2 Selfishness is the cause of all sin--the opposite of all holiness and virtue. The essence of man's sin, the sum of his moral depravity, is to love himself supremely; to seek himself finally and exclusivel... Read More

(MacDuff, "A Chapter in Providence and Grace") God's providence extends to all the minute and trifling occurrences of life. Have nothing to do with the heathen deity of CHANCE. He who wheels the planets in their courses, marks the sparrow's fall. Events, often apparently trivial and unimportant; wha... Read More

-Spurgeon, "Christ Our Passover" The more you read the Bible, and the more you meditate upon it, the more you will be astonished with it. He who is but a casual reader of the Bible, does not know the height, the depth, the length and breadth of the mighty meanings contained in its pages. There are c... Read More

(from "The Preciousness of God's Word" by Octavius Winslow) Christian, guard against the light, frivolous, frothy literature of the day. It will lessen your conviction of what is true; it will depreciate the value of what is divine; it will impair your taste for what is spiritual; and it will bring ... Read More

(from Octavius Winslow's "Morning Thoughts") "Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered." Luke 12:7 You know so little of God, my reader, because you live at such a distance from God. You have so little transaction with Him, so little confession of sin, so little searching of your own con... Read More

Spurgeon, "The Love of God and the Patience of Christ" "May the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God..." 2 Thes. 3:5 Believer, God loves you as much as if there were nobody else in all the world to love!

(J. C. Philpot, "The Valley of Achor" 1861) "They perish because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved." 2 Thess. 2:10 There is a receiving of 'the truth', and a receiving of 'the love of the truth'. These two things widely differ. To receive the truth will not necessa... Read More
