“We all know how endlessly ‘resolutions’ are formed by earnest Christians—honest resolutions to be ‘better’ Christians, to ‘quit’ this or that sin or bad habit:  and what failure and despair is the result of relying on our own wills!”  (William R. Newell)

“An unctuous word dropped by the Holy Ghost upon the heart is like “cold water to a thirsty soul;” and whilst it exalts and endears a precious Christ, in his person, work, and offices, it is the most deadly artillery with which Satan and all the powers of darkness can be attacked.”  David Alfred Doudney  (1811-1893)

“Every day experience teaches us that the Christian life is a daily warfare, and the captain of the enemy’s forces is me.”  (Author unknown)

“Our ways may be hidden from ourselves, but they are not hidden from the knowledge of the One with whom we have to do.”  (Edward J. Young  1907-1968)

“Nothing that a man does in this life is without 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)

“How sinfully absurd and preposterous it is to conceive of the Church as something that comes into existence by the will and through the efforts of man.”  (Herman Hoeksema; 1886-1965)

“One word spoken by the Lord to the heart is all spirit, and does that which whole streams of man’s eloquence could never effect.”  Robert Leighton  (1611-1684)

“For we ourselves are so feeble, that if the matter was left in our hands, very few, or rather none, would be saved but Satan would overcome us all.”  Jerome Zanchius  (1516-1590)

“So say I, from whence comes all this muttering, murmuring, fretting, and vexing and come they not hence, even from unmortified lusts?  Come they not from your unmortified pride, and unmortified self-love, and unmortified unbelief, and unmortified passion?  (Thomas Brooks; 1608-1680)

“However strong, rational, or convincing the evidence may be which accompanies the testimony of God, it will not effectually subdue the mind which is blinded by prejudice, bloated with pride, benumbed with carelessness, and poisoned with enmity against the truth.”  (John Fawcett  1740-1817)
