“As a man’s hopes are, such is he.  If his hope is in the promise of God, it is and must be, well with him.”  Charles H. Spurgeon  (1834-1892)

“Nothing that a man does in this life is without its consequences.  Every effect has a cause, and every cause produces an effect.  So many of our troubles arise from the fact that we forget that causes lead to effects, and that these effects in turn lead to certain inevitable consequences.”  D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones  (1899-1981)

“If a man is to be free from discontent and worry, it is not enough merely not to murmur but you must be active in sanctifying God’s name in the affliction.”  Jeremiah Burroughs (1599-1646)

“Satan hurts more in his sheep’s skin than by roaring like a lion.”  Thomas Brooks  (1608-1680)

“Mercy and grace are all-sufficient.  One crumb of these is worth more than all the riches of the world.”  Frans Bakker  (1919-1965)

“The providence of God brings his people into danger, not because he is unable to ward off even the appearance of it, but that he may glorify himself in their deliverance and exercise their graces.”  Alexander Carson  (1776-1844)

“Goodness is laid up in the promise, wrought in the performance; and that goodness which is laid up is wrought for them that trust in God; and thus, as God’s faithfulness engages us to believe, so our faith, as it were, engages God’s faithfulness to perform the promise.”  Nathanael Hardy (1618-1670)

“Every kind of trial is to be accepted as a necessary means of strengthening our character, for there can be no virtue without temptations to vice, temptations which come from the evil one.”  (Alfred Plummer; 1841-1926)

“Nothing hinders God’s work or changes His purpose.”  Andrew Jukes (1815-1901)

“Teach me to do thy will.”  We are to pray that God would teach us to know and then teach us to do his will.  Knowledge without obedience is lame, obedience without knowledge is blind; and we must never hope for acceptance if we offer the blind and the lame to God.”  Vincent Alsop  (1703)
