“None but God’s people can call Him Lord, and no man calleth Him LORD save through Jesus Christ His Son.”  (Edward J. Young  1907-1968)

Confessions force and bind the conscience of the believer, subjecting him to doctrines of men rather than to the Word of God only.  (Herman Hoeksema; 1886-1965)

“In this be confident, if your provision be spent, either fresh supplies are coming, though you see not whence, or you are nearer your journey’s end than you reckon yourself to be.”  (John Flavel  1627-1691)

He redeemed us from the curse, by becoming a curse for us.  (John Brown; 1784-1858)

“But foolish man may think many things to be necessary for him, which the all-wise God knoweth to be not only unnecessary, but hurtful, and therefore mercifully denies what men ignorantly desire to their hurt.”  (Matthew Poole  1624-1679)

“When we bear the burden of our own affairs ourselves, and are chastised with anxiety and want of success, and with envying the ungodly who prosper better than we do, the best remedy is first to do our duty, as we are enabled in the use of the means, then cast the care of the success over on God.”  (David Dickson; 1583-1662)

You will find also that objections urged against God’s sovereignty and man’s helplessness are just different manifestations of human pride – the pride into which Satan tempted Adam, “Ye shall be as gods,” and into which all his offspring have fallen along with him.  Man will not consent to be nothing, that God alone may be all.  And it is curious to observe that the objections urged against these truths are not passages of Scriptures, but human reasonings – man’s inferences and opinions.  (Horatius Bonar; 1808-1889)

“Oh!  the strange passions, the strange imaginations, the strange conclusions, that attend a distempered judgment.”  (Thomas Brooks, 1608-1680)

“The world is infinitely deceived in thinking that contentment lies in having more than we already have.”  (Jeremiah Burroughs, 1600-1646)

“True faith is blind to everything except the Divine command.”  William Garden Blaikie  (1820-1899)
