“The watchful care which God exerts over his people in times of danger is the chief lesson which we are taught…It lays open to us the wonderful manner in which he who “declares the end from the beginning” provides beforehand for the execution of his purposes, for defeating the schemes of his adversaries, and rescuing those who put their trust in him.”  (Thomas McCrie; 1772-1835)

“The sinner must suffer—or if he is to be spared that suffering, God Himself must take the sinner’s place as his Substitute and pay that penalty Himself.  Consequently, in taking the sinner’s place before the Divine law and meeting its full demands in His own person, Christ was rendering satisfaction to Divine justice.”  (Loraine Boettner—1901-1990)

The saints’ comforts may be hidden like seed under ground, but the seed is ripening and will increase, and flourish into a crop.”  (Thomas Watson  1620-1686)

“You will soon know that your bitterest trials and your sorest pains are sure tokens of His love.  The father corrects because he loves.  In anxious care the physician deeply probes the wounds.  Thus Jesus makes earth hard, that you may long for heaven’s holy rest.  He shows you your self-vileness that you may prize His cleansing blood.  He suffers you to stumble that you may cleave more closely to His side.  He makes the world a blank that you may seek all comfort in Himself.  If He seem to change, it is that you may change.  He hides His face, that you may look towards Him.  He is silent, that you may cry more loudly.  His desertion prevents your desertion.”  Henry Law  (1797-1844)

“Satan hath cast such sinful seed into our souls that now he can no sooner tempt, but we are ready to assent; he can no sooner have a plot upon us, but he makes a conquest of us….Whatever sin the heart of man is most prone to, that the devil will help forward.”  Thomas Brooks (1608-1680)

“Be ashamed and confounded for your own ways.”  Oh, would to God that we might be led to see this truth in its fullness.” (No name given)

“That which really in the last resort hinders a man’s salvation and secures his doom is not his sin, but his refusal to know and own that he is a sinner.”  (William Arnot  1808-1875)

“If ethics are concerned with manner of life and behavior, biblical ethics are concerned with the manner of life and behavior which the Bible requires and which the faith of the Bible produces.”  John Murray  (1898-1975)

“The purposes and intentions which arise in our hearts are known to God.  This is striking, for we ourselves often do not know, much less understand, the intentions which come from our hearts.  God not merely knows of these intentions; He understands them.”  (Edward J. Young  1907-1968)

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