“But a ‘beastly man does not know, neither does a fool understand this.’ That is, he being like a beast, having no sanctified principle of wisdom in him, looks no further than an animal into all the works of God and the occurrences of things. He may look on all blessings as things provided for man’s delight by God, but he seldom extracts holy, spiritual, useful thoughts out of it—for he lacks the ability and art to do it.” Thomas Goodwin (1600-1679)

“The Spirit is the great illuminator of the soul. We may spread the most momentous and spiritual truths before the mind, the evidence that confirms them may be collected from every source, and poured, as with focused power, upon the intellect; yet until the Spirit of life and light moves upon the moral chaos, all is darkness, disorder and confusion.” Octavius Winslow (1808-1878)

“Do not despise ‘the day of small things.’  Do not think that you are too spiritual to stand on such a low level. If you do, you will fall.” D Martyn Lloyd-Jones (1899-1981)

“Abraham, being strong in the faith, gave glory to God; and this is the nature of faith, even in its weakest degree.” John Fawcett (1740-1817)

“Ideally, faith is the inspiration of love, and love is the manifestation of faith.” William Graham Scroggie (1877-1958)

“It must be admitted, that the character and the tendencies of the age are not favorable to deep and mature reflection upon the hidden, spiritual life of the soul.” Octavius Winslow (1808-1878)

“We never consider that God can open the eyes of the blind with clay and spittle, He can work above, beyond, and even contrary to means. He often makes the fairest flowers of man’s endeavors to wither and brings improbable things to pass, in order that the glory of the undertaking may be given to Himself. Indeed, if His people stand in need of miracles to bring about their deliverance, miracles fall as easily from God’s hands as to give His people daily bread.” Jeremiah Burroughs (1599-1646)

“True prayer, however, involves waiting on God for His favor and grace, and listening to what the Lord says.” Frans Bakker (1919-1965)

“Men are his enemies—they hate him, and disobey him; yet in all their plans and actions they fulfil his will.” Alexander Carson (1776-1844)

“The best way to outwit the devil is to be silent under the hand of God; he that mutters is foiled by him, but he that is mute overcomes him, and to conquer a devil is more than to conquer a world.” Thomas Brooks (1608-1680)
