“What comfort ought this to afford under every condition!  For the Lord Jesus goes before us through the desert.  He is touched with the feeling of our infirmities.”  Ridley H. Herschell  (1807-1864)

“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)

“Believer, stay your soul on the rock of the promises.  They are as immovable as He who speaks them.  At the set moment, you shall march in triumph to your Canaan.”  (Henry Law; (1797-1884)

“Our devotion to a tradition is wholesome only when we recognize in that tradition, not the authority of the fathers, but the authority of God’s Word.”  (John Murray; 1898-1975)

We must learn to draw a distinction between being tempted and sinning.  Thoughts will come to you and the devil may try to press you to think that because thoughts have entered your mind you have sinned.  Temptation, in and of itself, is not sin.  (D. Martin Lloyd-Jones; 1899-1981)

“Those whom God justifies, he also glorifies; and because Christ lives, blessed be God! We shall live also.  Nevertheless, the strongest believer has as much need to come to Christ every day for fresh strength, as if he had never believed before; and if he were to depend on his own faithfulness, and not on the faithfulness of the Son of God, he would soon desert the Lord Jesus Christ.”  (John Mason; 1719-1791)

“Works are not taken into consideration when the question respects justification.  But true faith will no more fail to produce them than the sun can cease to give light.”  (Martin Luther; 1843-1546)

“It is refreshing and delightful to turn away from the wickedness of the world, and even the infirmity of the Church, to One in whom we can not only find no fault, but who has everything about Him to inspire our highest admiration; enlist our unwavering confidence, and satisfy our loftiest aspirations.  One higher than ever our highest ideal.”  (David Thomas 1813-1894)

“The angels glorify God, they sing divine anthems of praise.  How then ought man to glorify Him, for whom God has done more than for angels!  He has dignified us above them in uniting our nature with the Godhead.  Christ has died for us, and not the angels.”  (Thomas Watson;  1620-1686)
