“The soul of man unconverted is no other than a den of impure lusts, wherein dwell pride, uncleanness, avarice, malice, &c., just as Babylon is described, Rev. xviii. 2, or as Isa, xiii. 21.  Were a man’s eyes opened, he would as much abhor to remain with himself in that condition as to dwell in a house full of snakes and serpents.”  Robert Leighton  (1611-1684)

“Such a One is to be revered, worshipped, adored.  He is solitary in His majesty, unique in His excellency, peerless in His perfections.  He sustains all, but is Himself independent of all.  He gives to all and is enriched by none.”  Arthur W. Pink  (1886-1952)

Humility consists in being dependent on grace alone.  (Frans Bakker; 1919-1965)

“Afflictions to the godly are medicinal…Afflictions are as needful as ordinances (1 Peter  1:6).  No vessel can be made of gold without fire; so it is impossible that we should be made vessels of honour, unless we are melted and refined in the furnace of affliction.”  (Thomas Watson; 1620-1686)

“Whatever you need dwells richly in the Woman’s Seed.  Cast on Him your vileness, and take His purity; cast on Him your poverty, and take His riches; cast on Him your nothingness, and take His fullness; cast on Him your curse, and receive His blessing.”  Henry Law  (1797-1884)

“The gospel commands us to give up ourselves to Christ, to be accepted through Him, and to be ruled by Him; for He is the “author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him”  (Heb. 5:9)  Arthur W. Pink  (1886-1952)

“As the Scriptures teach that God’s providential control extends to all events, even the most minute, they thereby teach that His plan is equally comprehensive.”  Loraine Boettner (1901-1990)

“When a man dares to pour out his complaint before the Lord’s own face, his woes are real, and not the result of petulance or a rebellious spirit.”  Charles H. Spurgeon  (1834-1892)

“All men, and even the choicest of Christ’s servants, are by nature, and of themselves, empty of anything that is good; for so much is implied in that we must receive of his fullness.:  George Hutcheson (1678)

“It is a common temptation, when trouble lasts long, to think it will last always; despondency then turns into despair, and those that have long been without joy, begin, at last, to be without hope.”  Matthew Henry (1662-1714)
