John Flavel Quote

As all rivers are gathered into the ocean, which is congregation or meeting-place of all waters in the world:  so Christ is that ocean in which all true delights and pleasures meet.

From John 1:14:  “And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen His glory, the glory as of a father’s only son, full of grace and truth.”

John Flavel (c. 1627-1691) was an English Puritan pastor and Christian author.

Clovis G. Chappell Quote

What we need is faith.  For faith is not a tame and spineless thing that does nothing.  Real faith dares something, something big and brawny, beyond the human.

From Proverbs 28:1:  “The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are as bold as a lion.”

Clovis G. Chappell (1882-1972) was an American pastor and Christian author.
