“Who would not prefer to have his affairs in the hands of a God of infinite power, wisdom, holiness and love, rather than to have them left to fate, or chance, or irrevocable natural law, or to short-sighted and perverted self? Those who reject God’s sovereignty should consider what alternatives they have left.”  Loraine Boettner  (1901-1990

Answers to prayers are sweet cordials for the soul.  We need not fear a frowning world while we rejoice in a prayer-hearing God.  (C.H. Spurgeon; 1834-1892)

“God dealt with His Son in justice that He might deal with sinners in grace.”  Claude Duval Cole (1885-1968)

“When the Bible speaks, let the philosophy of this world keep silence.”  James Madison Pendleton  (1811-1891)

“Wicked men will sooner believe the most uncertain and ridiculous things, than own the visible demonstrations of God’s power and providence.”  Matthew Poole  (1624-1679)

“In thy agony of a troubled conscience, always look upwards unto a gracious God to keep thy soul steady;  for looking downward on thyself thou shalt find nothing but what will increase thy fear, infinite sins, good deeds few, and imperfect: it is not thy faith, but God’s faithfulness thou must rely upon; casting thine eyes downwards on thyself, to behold the great distance betwixt what thou deserves and what thou desires, is enough to make thee giddy, stagger, and reel into despair.”  Thomas Fuller  (1608-1661)

“During a past eternity God was alone—self-contained, self-sufficient, in need of nothing.  Had a universe, or angels, or humans been necessary to Him in any way, they also would have been called into existence from all eternity.  Creating them when He did added nothing to God essentially.  He changes not (Mal 3:6), therefore His essential glory can neither be augmented nor diminished.”  Arthur W. Pink  (1886-1952)

“Let the living principles of divine grace be imparted to the soul, and the believer will be raised above dismay at the face of men.”   John Stephen

“One of their greatest perils is, a temptation to use unlawful means for terminating their trials.”  William S. Plumer (1802-1880)

“When the believer questions the power of God, or his interest in it, his joy gusheth out as blood out of a broken vein.”  William Gurnall  (1617-1679)
