“Nothing is more necessary to prayer than to know the ‘plague of our hearts.’”(James Buchanan  1804-1870)

“It is a conquering, prevailing greatness of His power; it makes nothing rise up to something; it makes all things arrive to whatsoever He will have them arrive; they have all a faculty in them to obey Him; He is ABLE to subdue all things to himself, and by that same power He will glorify believers.”  Thomas Goodwin  (1600-1679)

“Unbelief counteracts and contradicts Christ’s faithful word.”  (Hugh Martin  1822-1885)

“To sin is one great misery, and then to forget our sins is a misery too.  If in repentance we could set the battle in array, point to every individual sin in the true and particular times of acting and re-acting, oh, how would our hearts be more broken with shame and sorrow, and how would we adore the richness of the treasure of mercy which must have a multitude in it to pardon the multitude of our infinite errors and sins.”  (Obadiah Sedgwich; 1600-1658)

“Gentleness and sympathy, appreciation for the work of others—these qualities are essential to a persuasive teacher.”  (Joseph B. Mayor  1828-1916)

“There is in us by nature nothing to attract the affectionate interest of a holy Being:  everything to avert it.  Death we have earned as wages; ‘eternal life is the gift of free grace.”  (Robert Johnstone  1871)

“Oh! For that warm and constant love, which is the main-spring of devoted diligence in the service of God.  Oh! For a larger supply of that “wisdom which is from above,” and which is “without partiality and without hypocrisy!”  (Jam. 3:17)  Charles Bridges  (1794-1869)

“I think there are few complaints more general among Christians than that of difficulty in prayer.”  (Edward Henry Bickersteth  1825-1906)

“It is not you who have thus lifted up yourself to God, but it is God who has thus drawn you up to Himself, even you, not someone else.  Why you, and not another?  This is a mystery.  We know not.”  (Abraham Kuyper  1837-1920)

“The atonement of Christ is perfect, and needs no addition of penances of human merits.”(Thomas V. Moore  1779-1852)
