“The love of God is a holy love. It expresses itself not by condoning sin or compromising with it; it deals with it, and yet does in such a way that the sinner is not destroyed with his sin, but is delivered from it and its consequences.”  (D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones  1899-1981)

“The grandeur of faith consists in this that it gives all the glory to God and rests in God’s power and faithfulness.  (John Murray; 1898-1975)

“Having settled our dependence upon God, we may, without being mistaken by God, speak all our desires to him; and, having done so, should leave our supplication and case at his feet with confidence:  O Lord, make no tarrying.”  (David Dickson 1583-1662)

“Consider what a great mercy it is to have a little grace, though it be but a little; for though you have never so little grace, you have communion with the Father, you have your own nature taken away, and become partaker of the divine nature; you have a right and title unto all the promises; yea, unto all the ordinances; yea, unto all things.”(William Bridge 1648)

“As every grace increases by exercise of itself, so does the grace of prayer.  By prayer, we learn to pray.”  (Barton Bouchier; 1794-1865)

“When sin would tempt and solicit indulgence, when the world presents some new allurement, when Satan would take advantage of constitution, society, or circumstances, may ever remember ‘Thou art near.’”  (James Harrington  1785-1849)

“To be discontented in any afflicted condition is sinful and evil. But to be discontented when we are in the mist of God’s mercies, when we are not able to count the mercies of God, still to be discontented because we have not got all we would have, this is a greater evil.”  (Jeremiah Burroughs; 1600-1646)

“When self-admiring thoughts arise in the Christian’s breast, it stops them short with needful and sharp rebuke; “Who maketh thee to differ?  and what hast thou that thou didst not receive?  Now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory as if thou hadst not received it?”  (Abraham Booth  1734-1806)

“One does not measure the straightness of a stick by a crooked stick.”  (Joseph Caryl; 1602-1673)

“Departure from God’s Word is the beginning of all moral disorders.”  (H. C. Leupold; 1891-1972)
