“The reason we find so little to praise is because we have no eyes for his daily miracles”  (Augustus F. Tholuck; 1856)

“For his sake, not for our own, are we chosen; in him, not in ourselves, we are received by God being accepted in the Beloved; therefore, in him are we blessed and he is our blessing.”  Unknown  (1859)

“There is nothing which God requires of his people as to be done by them, but HE himself helps them in the doing of it.”  (Thomas Horton; 1673)

“Lord, thou art my righteousness, and I am thy sin; thou hast taken from me what was mine, and given me what was thine.”  “Oh, sweet exchange!  Oh, unsearchable device!  Oh, benefits beyond all expectation!”  (Alexander A. Bonar; 1810-1892)

Faithful waiting that looks only to God is like the willow tree, “often shaken and whipped in the wind, but firm at the root.”   (Unknown)

In these names, Lord and Jesus, Christ’s divinity and humanity blend.  He whom we trust is both God and Man.  As God alone, we could never have known Him.  As Man alone, He could never have saved us.  (William Graham Scroggie; 1877-1958)

“To present the bait and hide the hook; to present the golden cup, and hide the poison; to present the sweet, the pleasure, and the profit that may flow in upon the soul by wrath and misery that will certainly follow the committing of sin.  By this device he took our first parents: ‘And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die.’” (Thomas Brooks,1608-1680)

Never a word of merit should be in the mouth of a true believer; for have mercy on me, O Lord, is David’s only plea; any good in us, is but a sandy ground to build on.  (David Dickson; 1583-1663)

A defect in the intellectual or spiritual man is at the root of all error.  The defect is not in the pages of inspiration, but in the human heart.  (George Burrows, 1803-1881)

Christians ought to be particularly on their guard against tampering in any degree with the word of God. We should never forget that when we are explaining any expression of Scripture, we are treating of what are the very words of the Holy Ghost, as much as if they had been spoken to us by a voice from heaven.  (Robert Haldane 1772–1854)
