“The cause as to why our oppressors prevail against us is because we trust too much in our own wits, and lean too much upon our own inventions; opposing subtlety to subtlety, one evil device to another, matching and maintaining policy by policy, and not committing our cause to God.”  (Abraham Wright, 1611-1690)

“Unless Christ approaches the sinner, the sinner will not come to Christ.”  (William H. Van Doren;  1810-1882)

“How blessed to let go of our cause and give it into the hands of God who knows everything much better than we do.”  (Frans Bakker; 1919-1965)

“So, do you speak against God’s ways, and His providences which have taken place concerning your condition and outward comforts?  Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge?  Where is the man or woman whose heart is so bold and impudent that they dare to speak against the administration of God’s providence?”  (Jeremiah Burroughs;  1599-1646)

“The deceitfulness of the human heart is strikingly exhibited in the different judgments which men pass upon themselves and others; condemning in others what they excuse in themselves.”  (Charles Hodge;  1797-1878)

“When God is pleased to make the word of promise lively, or to perform what the promise allows us to expect, such a consolation is a sufficient antidote to the heaviest affliction.”  (David Dickson;  1583-1662)

“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)

“All the blessings which a person receives here and will receive hereafter are gifts of grace from God, not founded upon man’s merits.”  (Norval Geldenhuys, 1918-1964)
