Quotes
Faith is deliberate confidence in the character of God whose ways you may not understand at the time.
~Oswald Chambers~
The way to see by Faith is to shut the Eye of Reason.
~Benjamin Franklin~
You should not believe your conscience and your feelings more than the word which the Lord who receives sinners preaches to you.
~Martin Luther~
A faith that hasn't been tested can't be trusted.
~Adrian Rogers~
Faith, as Paul saw it, was a living, flaming thing leading to surrender and obedience to the commandments of Christ.
~A. W. Tozer~
If we probe a bit deeper, we see that "unfaithfulness" is very close to "disobedience," for the man who disobeys God has cast himself loose from the only solid support a man can have, and his direction in life will be controlled by the shifting winds of circumstances and of his whimsical desire...The man who is not controlled by God has no settled reason to keep his word or discharge his obligations.
~John Sanderson~
