“The end of the struggle—confession, and so forgiveness and peace. God covers sin, but man must not cover his sin before God.”  J.J. Stewart Perowne (1823-1904)

“We find it is wholly set against the truth.  Every will since the fall, is wholly opposed to God and His Word.  Man needs no foreign influence, no external power, to make him reject the truth.  That he does by nature.”  Horatius Bonar  (1808-1890)

“The set time.”  “There is a certain set time for God’s great actions.  He lets the powers of darkness have their hour, and God will take his hour.  He has a set time for the discovery of his mercy, and he will not stay a jot beyond.it.”   Stephen Charnock (1628-1680)

“Grace is that which God implants in the heart against great opposition of enemies, great opposition from the corruption of the heart, and from Satan and the world.”  Jonathan Edwards  (1703-1758)

“THE LORD JESUS CAME NOT TO CALL THE RIGHTEOUS but sinners to repentance.  True repentance, accordingly, forms a part of the religion, not of an innocent person, but of a sinner.  It is produced by the Spirit of Christ in the regeneration and sanctification of a sinner, and is absolutely essential to the character of a true Christian.”  John Colquhoun  (1748-1827)

“The presence of God with a man is the best blessing he can receive, for it includes everything else.”  Thomas V Moore   (1779-1852)

“Lord, why is it, that notwithstanding all my unworthiness, a fresh tide of mercy comes in every day?  The mercies of God make a sinner proud, but a saint humble.”  Thomas Watson  (1620-1686)

“Open thy mouth wide then, O Christian; stretch out thy desires to the uttermost, grasp heaven and earth in thy boundless wishes, and believe there is enough in God to afford thee full satisfaction.”  (Benjamin Beddome, 1771-1795)

“He is the most thankful man that treasures up the mercies of God in his memory, and can feed his faith with what God has done for him, so as to walk in the strength thereof in present straits.”  (William Gurnall, 1617-1679)

“Self-love is the general that goes before, and Love of Pleasure is the lieutenant that follows after this army.  One is the first, the other is the last, and all the other lusts are between these two backs.”   Thomas  Goodwin  (1600-1679)
