Pilgrim's Progress

“For all its strict view of perseverance, Bunyan manages to pastorally describe meditation on the Word, trusting in God’s promises, the power of prayer, fleeing temptation, living by grace, maintaining spiritual disciplines and ultimately leaning on the sustaining grace of God that is the ground and cause of it all.” - Churches Without Chests

Mark Ward: Christians should react to the world’s hatred by remembering that God is the true object of any vitriol or persecution they endure. Don’t be so arrogant as to think that you are worthy of Apollyon’s arrows, and don’t let Giant Despair get you discouraged either—you are not the real issue.
