“We do as sadly err when we smite and wound those whom God would comfort, as when we comfort those whom the Lord condemns.” William Swan Plumer (1802-1880)

“The mercies of God are thus dispensed in such a way as to cut off all ground for boasting on the part of those who are justified. They are, on the contrary, calculated to exalt the Divine sovereignty, and to humble those in the dust who are saved before Him who worketh all things according to the counsel of His own will, and, without giving any account of His matters, either justifies or condemns the guilty according to His supreme pleasure.” Robert Haldane (1764-1842)

“God establishes His covenant and Church in the line of continued generations, in order that one generation may enter into the fruit of another. Thus the truth is preserved from age to age under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.” Herman Hoeksema (1886-1965)

“Even in the saints themselves, with all the forces that faith can muster, sin is scarcely kept under, but the flesh will be lusting against the spirit. And when their affections do not cleave to sin, yet sin will cleave to their affections and make them cry out with the Apostle Paul, O wretch that I am, who shall deliver me from this body of death? The victory is by Christ Jesus; it is death which kills sin.” Ralph Venning (1621-1674)

“Everything that can be called good in man, or in the universe, originates in the “I will” of Jehovah.” Horatius Bonar (1808-1890)

“As God draws near to us in promise, it is our privilege to draw near to Him in petition.” Arthur W. Pink (1886-1952)

“We must never forget that we know but little, if anything, of the mode of operation of the divine mind.” James Petigru Boyce (1827-1888)

“As a man’s hopes are, such is he. If his hope is in the promise of God, it is and must be, well with him.” Charles H. Spurgeon (1834-1892)

“The noon of temptation which is sometimes very hot, fierce, and violent; Satan throws his fiery darts, thick and fast, which oftentimes give the believer much uneasiness; he is “in heaviness through manifold temptations;” but Christ makes him to lie down quietly, and rest safely; which he does, either by shading him from the violent heat thereof, or by supporting him under it, or else by giving him deliverance from it.” John Gill (1697-1771)

“As all genuine ministers of the Gospel are separated by God to their good work, they ought to bestir themselves in it, be instant in season and out of season, and give themselves wholly to it.  Acts 6:4; 1 Tim. 4:15; 2 Tim. 2:4.” William S.Plumer (1802-1880)
