“The more I understand of the character of God, as revealed in Scripture, the more shall I see that he must be sovereign, and the more shall I rejoice from my inmost heart that He is so.   It was God’s sovereign will that fixed the time of my birth.  It is the same will that has fixed the day of my death.  And was not the day of my conversion fixed as certainly by that same will?”  Horatius Bonar (1808-1889)

“There is nothing which God requires of his people, as to be done by them, but he himself helps them in the doing of it.”  (Thomas Horton; 1673)

Faithful waiting that looks only to God is like the willow tree, “often shaken and whipped in the wind, but firm at the root.”   (Unknown)

In these names, Lord and Jesus, Christ’s divinity and humanity blend.  He whom we trust is both God and Man.  As God alone, we could never have known Him.  As Man alone, He could never have saved us.  (William Graham Scroggie; 1877-1958)

To present the bait and hide the hook; to present the golden cup, and hide the poison; to present the sweet, the pleasure, and the profit that may flow in upon the soul by wrath and misery that will certainly follow the committing of sin.  By this device he took our first parents: ‘And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die.’  (Thomas Brooks,1608-1680)

“Our most dangerous foes are within our breasts.”  (William H. Van Doren; 1810-1882)

Our love is not the cause of His, but His is the cause of ours; and it is not merely His loving us, but the shedding it abroad in our hearts by His Spirit, which draws out our love to Him; for though He loved us, yet if He had not some way or other manifested it to us, and overcome our hearts with it, we should still have remained enemies to Him; but His giving us the sense and perception of it in our hearts, is what has drawn us to Himself, and will keep us there.  (John Gill; 1697-1771)

“The greatest honor to which any man can attain on earth is to be a servant of Jesus Christ.”  (William S. Plumer 1802-1880)

 “The world we live in is a world of fools. The far greater part of mankind act a part entirely irrational.  So great is their infatuation, that they prefer time to eternity, momentary enjoyments to those that shall never have an end, and listen to the testimony of Satan in preference to that of God.  (John Jamieson  1789)

“God is equally loving and gracious when He sends affliction and when He sends prosperous abundance.”  (William Henry Green, 1825-1900)
