Thoughts of Affliction

No Life Exempt

Thomas De Witt Talmage 141


Trouble is an apothecary that mixes a great many draughts, bitter and sour, and nauseous, and you must drink some one of them. Trouble puts up a great many packs, and you must carry some of.them.

There is no sandal so thick and well adjusted but some thorn will strike through it. There is no sound so sweet, but the undertaker’s screw-driver grates through it. In this swift shuttle of the heart some of the threads must break.

We pluck some of our best comforts from the very midst of our trials. I have noticed that some of the sweetest berries grow on the sharpest thorns.

Afflictions are loathsome things, but they are necessary. They are leeches that draw out the inflammation of the soul.—TALMAGE.



If you only lay hold upon Him with faith the size of a mustard seed, you are safe.

Your Refuge From The Avenger of Blood

Charles Spurgeon
It is said that in the land of Canaan the cities of refuge were so arranged that anyone could reach one of them within half a day at the most. In the same way, the Word of our salvation is near to us.
If you are a true Christian, the proof will be in your love

Love as a Mark of a True Believer

John MacArthur
If you don’t have a love for God’s people, for the members of your new family in Christ, that’s clear evidence you’re still a product of your sinful self, separated from the life and love of God.
The answer is that God is merciful even to those who are not His own.

God’s Love for the Unbelieving World

John MacArthur
We know from human experience that love and hate are not mutually exclusive. It is not the least bit unusual to have concurrent feelings of love and hatred directed at the same person.
All true believers have this love; and all who have it are true believers.

The Source of True Love

John MacArthur
From the truth that God is love, the apostle John draws this corollary: “Love is of God” (1 John 4:7). God is the source of all true love. Love is therefore the best evidence that a person truly knows God: “Everyone who loves is born of God and knows God.
Lord Almighty, help me to be loyal in serving and trusting You at all times.

Decision of Loyalty

Augustine Ampratwum-Duah
The above words of Ruth to her mother-in-law [Naomi] constitute a decision of loyalty. She made a resolution not to forsake Naomi, which was a solemn declaration made by Ruth. Power of resolution silences temptation and resists the Devil, forcing him to flee.
