“A neglected Saviour will be a severe Judge.”  (Thomas Boston  1676-1732)

“The partial apostasies of genuine Christians are fearful demonstrations of the power of natural depravity,–clear evidences that, but for the constant operation of the good Spirit, every good man would soon become a bad man; and everything like right religious thinking, and feeling, and acting, would be banished from the earth.”  (John Brown  1784-1858)

“You never did a single thing in your whole life which in God’s sight was not full of sin.”  Brownlow North  (1741-1820)

“The mystery of divine sovereignty and human responsibility will never be completely unraveled until we stand before the eternal throne.”  (George E. Gardiner, 1919-1984)

“Let no appearing impossibilities make you question God’s accomplishment of any of his gracious words.  Though you cannot see how the thing can be done, ‘tis enough, if God has said that he will do it…Though the valleys be so deep that we cannot see the bottom, and the mountains so high that we cannot see the tops of them, yet God knows how to raise the one and level the other.”  (Timothy Cruso; 1656-1697)

“The Lord doth not always time his answers to the swiftness of his people’s expectations.”  (Thomas Brooks  1608-1680)

“We give them an ear in public, and in a cold, formal way stop conscience’s mouth with some religious performances in private, and no more; but to have deep and frequent thoughts, and to be ravished in the meditation of our Lord Jesus, once on the cross, and now in glory–how few of us are acquainted with this!”  Robert Leighton  (1611-1684)

What is essential is a daily emptying  of self, a crucifying, and a killing of the flesh, which results in the denial of our own ambitions and being completely submissive to the God of heaven and earth.  This, to say the least, is a substantial undertaking. (Unknown)

“He condescended to become a servant and debtor to the law that He might become our substitute.  He paid a life of privation and disgrace, suffered the contradiction of sinners against Himself, and finally laid down His own life, paid the infinite claims that eternal justice demanded for the redemption of His people, and it was no less than the price of His own blood.”  (J. R. Graves  1820-1893)
