“Once we have taken a problem to God, we should cease to concern ourselves with it.  We should turn our backs upon it and center our gaze upon God.  Is not this precisely where we go astray?  (D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones;  1899-1981)

He draws us and we come.  He makes us thirsty and we drink.  He changes our heart, our mind and our will by His Spirit and Word, and we find Him more precious than all the riches of the world, and consider all things but dung for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus our Lord.”  (Herman Hoeksema; 1886-1965)

“If we trust in God aright, we shall trust him at one time as well as another.”  (Thomas Watson; 1620-1686)

“Nothing in me could thou behold but a shocking compound of impurity and folly, of guilt and wretchedness.  Nothing in my conduct could thou foresee, but what was adapted to provoke thy abhorrence, rather than to obtain thy regard.”  (Abraham Booth;  1734-1806)

“Sin is of an encroaching nature; it creeps into the soul by degrees, step by step, until it has the soul at the very height of sin.”  (Thomas Brooks; 1608-1680)

“The bond of the covenant is able to bear the weight of the believer’s heaviest burden.”  (William S. Plumer; 1867)
