“Man proposes, but God disposes; God by an absolute decree has foreordained all things that do come to pass.”  (Christopher Ness;  1621-1705)

“Let your mind be deeply impressed with an apprehension of the evil nature and effects of an unsubmissive and restless temper.  It grieves the Spirit of God and induces his departure.  His gracious presence and influence are enjoyed only where peace and quiet submission prevail.  The indulgence of such a temper gives the adversary an advantage.  Satan is an angry and discontented spirit.”  (John Flavel;  1628-1691)

“Prosperity puffs up sinners with pride; for it is very hard to keep a low spirit with a high and prosperous lot.”  (Thomas Boston;  1677-1732)

“Death shall stop the bottle of tears and open the gate of Paradise.  A believer’s dying day is his ascension day to glory.”  (Thomas Watson, 1620-1686)

“It is no less grievous to hurt a man with the tongue than with a sword: no, ofttimes the stroke of a tongue is more grevious than the wound of a spear.”  (Peter Baro; 1560)

What you cannot do yourselves, give God no rest until he shall please to work a cure.”  (Matthew Poole; 1624-1679)

“The unbelief of the believer never affects the faithfulness of God.”  (Octavius Winslow; 1808-1878)

“The relation of believers to Christ is now more intimate than it could ever have been had Adam and Eve not fallen.  Yet how damnable was their sin!”  (William Graham Scroggie;  (1877-1958)

“Our trouble is that we are swift to speak and swift to wrath, but slow to think.”  (D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones;  1899-1981)

“Christianity knows no geographical boundaries, no treaty limits, no barriers of language, customs or climes.  It recognizes no distinctions of sex or color, of estate, of education; ‘it represents us all of one blood, the offspring of a common father, for to him is provided one common Redeemer, and before whom lies a common death, a common judgment, and a common eternity.”  (Anonymous)
