Quotes to Consider
Roger Ellsworth on I Kings 19: “... we must learn to distinguish between the burden that sometimes sighs over the state of the Lord’s work and the burden that overwhelms and crushes us with despair. The true balance is to be concerned enough about the cause of God that we are busily at work for him, but not so concerned that we are depressed and melancholy” (Standing for God, p. 96).
Herman Hoeksema on Lord’s Day 22: “When the believer passes through physical death, he does not sink into deeper death, but he is delivered from the body of this death to pass on to the heavenly glory of perfect fellowship with Christ. Physical death has become his servant to set him free and to open the door into glory for him. According to his inner principle of life, he is immortal: he cannot die. In the earthly house of his tabernacle he carries the principle of immortality in a moral vessel. The dissolution of the earthly house is necessary to unite him in perfect fellowship with Christ and to transfer him into the building of God, the house not make with hands, eternal in the heavens” (Abundant Mercy, p. 102).
