“Sincerity therefore must be the stamp of my Christian profession.  Though utterly unable to render perfect obedience to the least of the commandments, yet my desire and purpose will have respect unto them all’”  Charles Bridges  (1794-1869)

“Men limit the Lord when they fix on a blessing they would have, even that, and not another; and the measure of it, to what degree it should be bestowed on them, as well as the set time when they would have it; whereas the blessing itself, and the degree of it, and the time of giving it, should be all left with the Lord who knows which and what of it is most convenient for us, and when is the best time to bestow it on us.”  John Gill  (1697-1771)

To present the bait and hide the hook; to present the golden cup, and hide the poison; to present the sweet, the pleasure, and the profit that may flow in upon the soul by wrath and misery that will certainly follow the committing of sin.  By this device he took our first parents: ‘And the serpent said until the woman, Ye shall not surely die.’  (Thomas Brooks, 1608-1680)

“Sovereignty and dominion and strength are His, and out of these He will pardon your sins and save you; and if all that power of God will bring you to salvation, and keep you to salvation, then you shall surely be kept.”  Thomas Goodwin  (1600-1679)

“We hear much of what man does, and can do, and ought to do, but by no means so much of what God is doing, and has purposed to do.  Man’s agency stands very prominently to our view,–God’s arm and power are hidden.”  Horatius Bonar  (1808-1890)

“He is the Alpha, and also the Omega!  Nothing exists that does exist, nothing moves that does move, nothing develops that does develop, nothing happens that does happen, whether light or darkness, whether sin or grace, whether the devil or antichrist, whether life or death, whether sickness or health, whether prosperity or adversity, whether joy or sorrow, whether war or peace, whether angels or principalities or powers,–nothing in heaven or in earth or in hell exists or acts but for Him!”  Herman Hoeksema (1886-1965)

“Nothing but a belief in God and a desire to glorify Him, based upon our realization of our utter dependence upon Him and our acceptance of His way of life and salvation in Jesus Christ His Son, can ever lead to a good society.”  D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones  (1899-1981)

“If God Himself be mine, then everything that is pure, holy, lovely, and satisfying is mine.”  Arthur W. Pink  (1886-1952)

“Brethren, when we have learned to give up our own way, and long to walk in God’s way, it is a happy sign of grace; and it is no small mercy to see the way of God with clear vision straight before our face.”  Charles H. Spurgeon  (1834-1892)

Never a word of merit should be in the mouth of a true believer; for have mercy on me, O Lord, is David’s only plea; any good in us, is but a sandy ground to build on.  (David Dickson; 1583-1663)
