During His earthly ministry, Jesus was always moved with compassion and healed all them that had need of healing, and He is our faithful and merciful high priest today.

T. L. Osborn

Tommy Lee „T. L.“ Osborn (1923–2013) war ein US-amerikanischer Pfingstprediger, Evangelist und Buchautor, der von Oklahoma aus weltweite Massenveranstaltungen leitete. Bekannt wurde er für seine Lehre, dass körperliche Heilung jedem Gläubigen uneingeschränkt zustehe, was ihm theologische Kritik an einer Verkürzung des Glaubens sowie Vorwürfe fehlender medizinischer Belege einbrachte. Heutigen Bibellesern gilt sein Werk als historischer Bezugspunkt pfingstlicher Mission, regt jedoch zugleich zur kritischen Reflexion über Heilungsverheißungen an.

Fits of depression come over the most of us. Usually cheerful as we may be, we must at intervals be cast down. The strong are not always vigorous, the wise not always ready, the brave not always courageous, and the joyous not always happy.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon

I am certain that I never did grow in grace one-half so much anywhere as I have upon the bed of pain.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon

I am so weak. I can’t read my Bible. I can’t even pray. I can only lie still in God’s arms like a little child and trust.

Hudson Taylor

The bow cannot be always bent without fear of breaking. Repose is as needful to the mind as sleep to the body… Rest time is not waste time. It is economy to gather fresh strength.

Charles Haddon Spurgeon
