John Bunyan (Repentance)

The difference between true and false repentance lies in this: the man who truly repents cries out against his heart; but the other, as Eve, against the serpent, or something else.

John Bunyan (Preacher, 1628 – 1688)

William Tyndale (Scriptures)

Christ desires his mysteries to be published abroad as widely as possible. I would that [the Gospels and the epistles of Paul] were translated into all languages, of all Christian people, and that they might be read and known.

William Tyndale (Biblical Scholar, 1494 – 1536)

William Tyndale (Truth)

I perceived how that it was impossible to establish the lay people in any truth except the Scripture were plainly laid before their eyes in their mother tongue.

William Tyndale (Biblical Scholar, 1494 – 1536)

William Tyndale (Layman)

We do not wish to abolish teaching and to make every man his own master, but if the curates will not teach the gospel, the layman must have the Scripture, and read it for himself, taking God for his teacher.

William Tyndale (Biblical Scholar, 1494 – 1536)

William Tyndale (Keys)

The Law and the Gospel are two keys. The Law is the key that shutteth up all men under condemnation, and the Gospel is the key which opens the door and lets them out.

William Tyndale (Biblical Scholar, 1494 – 1536)

Louis Talbot (First Love)

“For to me to live is Christ.” To seek His glory, not our own; to exalt Him, not ourselves; to please Him, not our own selfish desires — this is the “first love” of the child of God. To know Him, rather than to seek His gifts; to love Him, rather than to find delight first in His gracious providences — this is the “first love” of the born-again soul.

Louis Talbot (Pastor, 1899 – 1976)

Louis Talbot (Division)

Who were the Nicolaitanes? The two words “nikao,” meaning “to conquer,” and “laos,” meaning “the people,” or “the laity,” form the root of the name “Nicolaitanes.” The term was applied to those who originated the system which divided the church of Jesus Christ into two divisions — the clergy and the laity.
