“The ability of the human heart to conjure up possible trouble and disaster is without limit, it seems:  but this word gives us peace.  No created thing shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus, our Lord.”  (William R. Newell; 1865-1956)

“My brethren, faith brings home to the heart a message of a higher sovereignty, even of love from God borne to you, and tells everyone that professes an interest in God, that God has shown His absolute dominion already toward you in saving your souls.”  (Thomas Goodwin; 1600-1679)

“Deadness causes distraction, and distraction increases deadness.”  (John Flavel  1627-1691)

“Christian, though you do not break forth into a flame of scandal, yet you have no cause to boast, for there is much sin raked up in the embers of your nature.  You have the root of bitterness in you, and would bear as hellish fruit as any, if God did not either curb you by His power, or change you by His grace.”  (Thomas Watson  1620-1686)

“It is not for the enemies’ sake that God doth preserve to deliver his people; nor for their sakes, their prayers, tears, faith, obedience, and holiness that he doth great things for them, bestows great mercies upon them; but it is for his own name’s  sake.”  William Greenhill (1650)

“We know in part and at best, our knowledge is but a stammering of the truth.  God’s knowledge is perfect and all-embracing.  Of Him alone may it be said that He knows and He understands.”  (Edward J. Young  1907-1968)

“No man is qualified to teach who is not well nigh overwhelmed with a sense of his own insufficiency.”  (David Thomas 1813-1894)

“For in choosing those that are unworthy, He has no respect but only to His own mere goodness.  What want we more?  Then it is good reason that we should hold ourselves contented with God’s will, and bridle ourselves, and let Him choose whom He likes, for His will is the sovereign rule of equity and right.”  John Calvin  (1509-1564)

“The man whose master principle is a wish to please men, cannot be a consistent servant of Christ.”  (John Brown  1784-1858)

“The impurity and earthliness of men’s minds are the great cause of disunion and disaffection among them and of all their strifes” (James 4:1);  Robert Leighton  (1611-1884)
