“Now, my brethren, what is the great doubt that possesses the hearts of Christians, that usually takes up their thoughts?  It is not so much a questioning of the power of God to raise them up hereafter, as it is the power of God to keep them for the present.”  Thomas Goodwin  (1600-1697)

“For the perfection of the faithful is to acknowledge their own weakness, and to pray God not only to amend all their misdoing but also to bear with them of His infinite goodness, and not to call them to account with extremity and rigor.”  John Calvin  (1509-1564)

“Love to Jesus Christ becomes through sanctification, the strongest passion that can take possession of the human heart.”  George Burrowes

“Bent upon compassing a particular object, we run recklessly forward, thinking that, as the object is right, anything that can contribute towards the securing of it cannot be wrong.”  Horatius Bonar  (1808-1890)

“And my Lord purchased me at the price of His own precious blood.”  Herman Hoessema (1886-1965)

“We cannot attain to a comprehension of all the wisdom of God.  We cannot see how its several parts cohere with each other, or how they consist with the perfections of Him who designed it and who is conducting it.  There is much that, to human view, seems to be at variance with a well-ordered administration.  There is much that we cannot account for, much that we cannot understand.  There are many things in the management of the world that completely baffle every attempt to unriddle them. We cannot see why they are, nor why God permits them, nor how He can consistently permit them.  With our limited understanding and our restricted range of observation, we cannot pretend to fathom the bottomless deep, nor measure what has no bound.  We cannot, even by the most prolonged search or the most elaborate investigation, attain to a thorough understanding of God’s infinite designs.  But the keenest insight and the most indefatigable application of the human faculties fail to discover the Wisdom that rules in all.  The secret that resolves all mysteries, harmonizes all strifes, reconciles all contradictions, and reduces this seemingly inextricable confusion to perfect symmetry and order is hidden in the God’s mind alone.”  William Henry Green (1825-1900)

“Now, from this hour, will you not begin to cherish the anticipation of complete deliverance, not hereafter, in old age and in heaven, but now and here?  Not because of your resolutions, or strivings, or agonies, but because you will stand still and see the salvation of God, because the Lord shall fight for you, and you will hold your peace.”  Frederick Brotherton Meyer  (1847-1929)

“Paul did not consider what many would regard as “the Spirit’s prompting” a sufficient warrant.  He must be assured, by His providences, that this journey was ordered by his Master.”  Arthur W. Pink  (1886-1952)

“When God hides His face, the believer needs to seek God for the exact reasons why.  As soon as the discovery is made, the tender child must then trust in the merciful God to deliver him from his darkness.”  (Author not named)

“Can we go against sin and Satan with a better weapon than Christ used to vanquish the tempter with?” (William Gurnall; 1617-1679)
