“Were the glory of the infinite Jehovah seen in its true light, as the mightiest and most majestic of all objects and ends, not the exclusion of other matters, but simply to their regulation and subordination,–then should we be saved the pain of seeing men rushing headlong over Scriptures and reason, striking out strange by-paths of their own, in their eager pursuit of an object on which they have fixed an exclusive and partial eye.”  Horatius Bonar  (1808-1890)

“Let a moment’s failure of his power, of his watchfulness, or of his will to do good, occur, and what a sweep of death and annihilation through the universe! William Howitt (1792-1879)

“The duty of an interpreter of Scripture is to search for the mind of the Spirit.” George Burrowes (1811-1895)

“He is the Alpha, and also the Omega!  Nothing exists that does exist, nothing moves that does move, nothing develops that does develop, nothing happens that does happen, whether light or darkness, whether sin or grace, whether the devil or antichrist, whether life or death, whether sickness or health, whether prosperity or adversity, whether joy or sorrow, whether war or peace, whether angels or principalities or powers,–nothing in heaven or in earth or in hell exists or acts but for Him!”  Herman Hoeksema (1886-1965)

“We are not only loved, and freed from our sins, but, if indeed we are Christians, we are princes and priests, named and anointed for immortal regencies and eternal priesthoods.”  Joseph Augustus Seiss  (1823-1904)

“God did not elect me as a helper, nor create me, nor redeem me, nor convert me, by way of helping me: for he alone did all, and he had no use at all for me.”  John Donne (1572-1631)

“We see then that faith depends upon God’s election or else we must make S. Paul a liar.  And so, as touching the first point, you see that all such as cannot abide to have predestination plainly and openly spoken of are deadly enemies of God’s grace, and would deface it to the uttermost of their power.  John Calvin  (1509-1564)

“Self-Control!—This cannot be acquired in an instant…to possess it because we have learned to hand it over to Jesus Christ; to be self-controlled because we are Christ-controlled—this does not come easily or at once.  Only through long years of temptation and failure, and faith, do we come at last to learn that we are nothing, and can effect nothing, and hand over the entire control and management of the inner life to Him Who is able to keep us from falling, and present us before the throne of His glory with exceeding joy.”  Frederick Brotherton Meyer  (1847-1929)

“Those, in every age have sunk deepest into folly, who have relied most on their own understanding.”  Charles Hodge  (1794-1878)

“There is neither grace nor peace for man, except through Christ.”  Joseph Augustus Seiss  (1823-1904)
