“God would never permit His people to be tempted unless He intended to destroy their temptations by their temptations.” (William Bridge 1600-1671)

“Truth in its majestic all-sidedness has never been popular. It acts on the public conscience as strong daylight on the diseased eye, and the people shrink from it and love darkness.” (David Thomas 1813-1894)

“The church must never be satisfied to preach to “respectable” people only, but should continually be engaged in evangelizing those who have fallen into sin or who religiously are outsiders. If Jesus came not to call the righteous but sinners to repentance, this is also the supreme function of His church.” Norval Geldenhuys (1918-1964)

“The Lord can turn the heart perfectly to hate sin that was most of all beloved; and the strength of sin is gone when once it is hated; and as the hatred grows stronger and stronger, sin becomes weaker and weaker daily.” (Nathaniel Vincent 1639-1697)

“There alone have we, in the cross of Christ, the Ruler and the criminal, the Father and the prodigal, the Holy One and the sinner, righteously reconciled. This is our standing in the gospel.” (Robert Candlish 1806-1873)

“The Sun of Righteousness has been gradually drawing nearer and nearer, appearing larger and brighter as he approached, and now he fills the whole hemisphere; pouring forth a flood of glory, in which I seem to float like an insect in the beams of the sun; exulting, yet almost trembling, while I gaze on this excessive brightness, and wondering, with unutterable wonder, why God should deign thus to shine upon a sinful worm.” (Edward Payson 1783-1827)

“The Church has been corrupted and cursed in almost every age by the undue confidence of men in their reasoning powers. They have undertaken to pronounce upon the reasonableness or unreasonableness of doctrines infinitely above their reason, which are necessarily matters of pure revelation.” (Loraine Boettner 1901-1990)

“Jesus presents aid in each trial, power for each duty, shelter in each storm.” (Henry Law   1797-1884)

“The sense of sin is perhaps as general as the sense of bodily need, but it is not as frequently felt.” Alfred Plummer (1841-1926)

“God pours out His grace plentifully on humble hearts. His sweet dews and showers slide off the mountains to fall on the low valleys of humble hearts, and make them pleasant and fertile.” (Robert Leighton 1611-1684)
