“Fearfulness and trembling are come upon me.”  In this pitiful condition of mind, learn that it is not a thing inconsistent with godliness to be much moved with fear in time of danger; natural affections are not taken away in conversion but sanctified and moderated.”  (Daniel Dickson)

“Divine truth devoid of spiritual energy is impotent.”  (John Wilmot;1647-1680)

“During his ministry our Lord had said and done many things contrary to the notions of the masses of men, and had set up the highest claims to reverence, worship and obedience from men…So great was the importance of the event and such was its connection with all that is vital in religion that our justification and indeed our whole hope of salvation are in Scripture made to depend upon it.” (Rom. 4:25; 1 Pet. 1:3)  William S. Plumer  (1802-1880)

“But how is this possible?  All the dyers upon earth cannot dye a red into white; and how, then, is it possible that my sins which are as red as scarlet should ever be made as white as snow?  Indeed such retrogradation  is no work of human art; it must be only his doing who brought the sun ten degrees back in the dial of Ahaz:  for God hath a nitre of grace that can bring not only the redness of scarlet sins, but even the blackness of deadly sins, into its native purity and whiteness again.”  (Sir Richard Baker; 1568-1645)

“Hanker not after other helpers, rely on him only, fully trusting him in the use of such means as he prescribeth and affordeth.  God is jealous, will have no co-rival, nor allow thee (in this case) two strings to thy bow.  He who worketh all in all must be unto thee all in all:  of, through, and to whom are all things, to him be all praise forever.”  (George Gipps; 1791-1847)

“There is such unruliness in our thoughts and affections that our judgments are not always able to rule our thoughts and affections.”  Jeremiah Burroughs (1600-1646)

“He sends so much to save you, that He could send no more.”  (Henry Law  1997-1884)

“The true reason why there is so little truth of the Christian mutual love among those that are called Christians, is, because there is so little of this purifying obedience to the truth whence if flows.  Faith unfeigned would beget this love unfeigned.  Men may exhort to them both, but they require the hand of God to work them in the heart.”  Robert Leighton (1611-1684)

“And so with God.  To be “Almighty,” He must be able to carry out His own will and purpose to the uttermost.”  (Andrew Jukes, 1815-1901)

“The weakness of our faith is open to the temptation of supposing that God regards not the situation of his people in the world; and the Spirit, who knows our infirmities, provides a petition suited to this trial, which expresses at the same time an expectation that God will arise to claim his people as his own.”  (W. Wilson)
