“A simple-hearted man with pure piety and no weapon but the word of God, may often be better armed than if he had all the arguments of the schools at his command.”  (Albert Barnes; 1798-1870)

“It is impossible to induce purity by anything impure.  No imperfect being could become a perfect sacrifice, or effect a perfect righteousness.”  (Joseph A, Seiss  1823-1904)

“He that believeth shall not make haste, even when the storm of adversity has thickened and threatens every moment to burst over his head.  Time must not be lost, but there is a time for every purpose under heaven, and precipitation is as dangerous as procrastination.”  (Thomas McCeie  1772)

“God sends afflictions for humbling, as the end and design to be brought about by them; when that is obtained, and there is no more use for them that way, we may assure ourselves they will be taken off.”  (Thomas Boston; 1677-1732)

“A kindly word spoken in season, how good it is!”  (William Graham Scroggie;  1877-1958)

“He never oversleeps the hour of deliverance.  He appears at the right moment.”  (William H. Van Doren,  1810-1882)

“Certainly God’s bounty is too large for our thoughts.” (Thomas Manton; 1620-1677)

“Be in the habit of going to him in the first place—before self-will, self-pleasing, self-wisdom, human friends, convenience, expediency.  Before any of these have been consulted, go to God at once.  Consider no circumstances too clear to need his direction.”(Charles Bridges; 1794-1869)

“It is blood that opens our way into the presence of God.  It is the voice of atoning blood that prevails with Him who dwells within.”  (A. A. Bonar; 1808-1889)

“Preparation for heaven does not consist in rising to any imaginary standard of piety, in being as holy as we may consider some illustrious saints, in rising to certain frames of which we have heard and which we have desired; but in being filled as full of the Holy Spirit as our capacities can bear.”  (George Burrows; 1853)
