"Finally, brothers, pray for us, ... For not all have faith. But the Lord is faithful. He will establish you and guard you against the evil one."-Paul, 2nd Thes. 3:1-3

"Let us settle it in our minds that the Christian fight is a good fight--really good, truly good, emphatically good. We see only part of it yet. We see the struggle, but not the end; we see the campaign, but not the reward; we see the cross, but not the crown. We see a few humble broken-spirited, penitent, praying people, enduring hardships and despised by the world; but we see not the hand of God over them, the face of God smiling on them, the kingdom of glory prepared for them. These things are yet to be revealed. Let us not judge by appearances. There are more good things about Christian warfare than we see."-Bishop J.C. Ryle
