“The unchangeableness of the divine purpose is a necessary consequence of the unchangeableness of the divine nature.”

Johann Keil

Quoted in John Blanchard, Gathered God: A Treasury of Quotations for Christians

“We are to evangelize not because it is pleasant, not because it is easy, not because we may be successful, but because Christ has called us. He is our Lord. We have no other choice but to obey him.”

P. T. Forsyth
Scottish Theologian
Principal of Hackney College, London

Quoted in John Blanchard, Gathered Gold: A Treasury of Quotations for Christians

“Jesus is with us! His authority rests with his Church! Let us possess and use it with humility and energy.”
