“The kingdom of hell is bound to rage against the kingdom of Christ.”  (Richard C. H. Lenski  1864-1936

“From God’s point of view, accidents never occur.  God is God!  He is in heaven and performs all His good pleasure, and that too, not simply in spite of the attempts of Satan and sin, but also through those very attempts.  At all times God proceeds directly to His goal.  There is no interim.  Never is God hindered by the creature from realizing His counsel.  With Him there is no change or shadow of turning.”  (Herman Hoeksema  1886-1965)

“The goodness of the Lord.”  “He might, if he had pleased, have made everything we tasted bitter, everything we saw loathsome, everything we touched a sting, every smell a stench, every sound a discord.”  (William Paley  1743-1805)

“How can such an insignificant creature as man be the object of the care and attention of such a magnificent being as God?”  (James Saurin, 1677-1730)

“Who is the faithful witness God will hear?  Why is His testimony so powerful and purifying?  The faithful witness is God’s only Son.  What makes His testimony so powerful and purifying is His BLOOD.”  (Author not mentioned)

“Confession is to the soul as the whetstone is to the knife, that sharpens it and puts an edge on it;  so does confession of sin.  Confessing our evils to God does sharpen and put an edge on our supplications;  that man will pray but faintly that only confesses sin but slightly. “  (Christopher Love  1618-1651)

“There is no guile in the spirit of him who sees the truth of himself in the light of the truth of God.  For the truth of God shows him at once that in Christ he is perfectly righteous before God, and in himself he is the chief of sinners.”  (J. W. Reeve  1860)

“Never has man been able to earn salvation or to make himself acceptable to God by doing good works.”  (Loraine Boettner  1901-1990)

“The faithfulness of God is so rich that even our weakness and fits of unbelief cannot alter the eternal counsels of God (2 Timothy 2:13)”  (Author Not Mentioned; 1946)

“The life of a Christian is filled up with interchanges of sickness and health, weakness and strength, want and wealth, disgrace and honor, crosses, and comforts, miseries and mercies, joys and sorrows, mirth and mourning; all honey would harm us, all wormwood would undo us; a composition of both is the best way in the world to keep our souls in a healthy constitution.”  (Thomas Brooks  1608-1680)
