“The power of godliness did never thrive better than in affliction, and was never less thriving than in times of greatest prosperity. When we are left a poor and an afflicted people, then we learn to trust in the name of the Lord.”  John Flavel (1628-1691)

“As the mercies that are with the Lord are tender, great, rich, a multitude, and manifold; so they are mercies that DIMINISH NOT in the using, but that rather increase in the exercising of them.”  John Bunyan (1628-1688)

“When the believer stands at heaven’s gate, he appears in heavenly robes. The righteousness of Christ in upon him.  What more can be required?  It is as bright and glorious as God Himself.”  Henry Law  (1797-1884)

“When we seriously consider who He was, for whom He suffered, and what He endured, we cannot but perceive God’s infinite and irreconcilable abhorrence of all iniquity.”  (John Colquhoun; 1748-1827)

“We may and ought to trust God’s promise to bless us, even though we may see no visible appearance of its fulfillment.  ‘The vision will surely come and not tarry.'” Thomas V. Moore (1779-1852)

“Faith and fear go hand in hand.  Faith keeps the heart cheerful, fear keeps the heart serious.  Faith keeps the heart from sinking in despair, fear keeps it from floating in presumption.”  Thomas Watson  (1620-1686)

“Thou hast commanded us to keep thy statutes diligently.”  We acknowledge Lord our obligation; but we feel our impotency.  Lord, help us! We look unto thee.  “Oh that our ways were directed to keep thy statutes!  “Give what thou commands; and then command what thou will.”  (Augustine; 354-430)

“Opposition to the doctrine of election comes from a misunderstanding of the grace of God, a denial of human depravity, and a disregard for the sovereignty of God.”  Claude Duval Cole  (1885-1968)

“Cast not away your confidence because God defers his performances.  Though providences run cross, though they move backwards and forwards, you have a sure and faithful word to rely upon.  Promises, though they be for a time seemingly delayed, cannot be finally frustrated.  Dare not to harbor such a thought within yourselves.  The being of God may as well fail as the promise of God.”  (Timothy Cruso; 1656-1697)

“We must conclude that it is impossible for men to believe, unless it be given them from above.”  John Calvin  (1509-1564)
