“The power of godliness did never thrive better than in affliction, and was never less thriving than in times of greatest prosperity: when “we are left a poor and an afflicted people, then we learn to trust in the name of the Lord.” John Flavel (1628-1691)

“As the mercies that are with the Lord are tender, great, rich, a multitude, and manifold; so they are mercies that DIMINISH NOT in the using, but that rather increase in the exercising of them.” John Bunyan (1628-1688)

“But out of the very midst of the furnace the sufferer can say, “Lord, before Thee is all my desire—in Thee, O Jehovah, have I hoped; “I can cry with all the earnestness of a faith purified by affliction, “Leave me not, be not far from me, O Lord, my Salvation.” J.J. Stewart Perowne (1823-1904)

“When they are perceived by the eye of faith, and duly considered, we have a just view of afflicting incidents, fitted to quell the turbulent motions of corrupt affections under dismal outward appearances.” Thomas Boston (1677-1732)

“I answer then, unhesitatingly, that predestination must be the foundation of foreknowledge. God foreknows everything that takes place, because He has fixed it.” Horatius Bonar (1808-1890)

“That the plans of men are not always executed is due to a lack of power, or a lack of wisdom; but since God is unlimited in these and all other resources, no unforeseen emergencies can arise, and to Him the causes for change have no existence. To suppose that His plans fail and that He strives to no effect is to reduce Him to the level of His creatures.” Loraine Boettner (1901-1990)

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

“When a man dares to pour out his complaint before the Lord’s own face, his woes are real, and not the result of petulance or a rebellious spirit.” Charles H. Spurgeon (1834-1892)

“Hence, when the believer stands at heaven’s gate, he appears in heavenly robes.—The righteousness of Christ in upon him. What more can be required? It is as bright and glorious as God Himself.” Henry Law (1797-1884)

“The Bible knows of death where sin is not.” James Madison Pendleton (1811-1891)
