“We have reason to believe that all finite minds are under the direction of the Supreme Power, who, without destroying their accountability or interfering with their agency makes all their operations subservient to the accomplishment of his counsels.”   James Madison Pendleton  (1811-1891)

“The lowest stage in depravity is reached when men take pleasure in seeing others sin.”  Claude Duval Cole  (1885-1968)

“The mighty God, without ceasing to be God, becomes man to redeem us.  Wonder of wonders!  The like to this never has been—never could be.  Let the greatest king become the meanest beggar:–let the richest prince leave his place for the vilest cell of a loathsome prison; it is as nothing to the act of Jesus, when He left heaven to put on the rage of our mortality.”  Henry Law  (1797-1884)

“A lively sense of the divine presence is a mighty stay to the heart in times of distress.”  Charles H.  Spurgeon  (1834-1892)

“The intenseness of the affliction renders it trying to our fortitude; but it is by the continuance of it that patience is put to the test.  It is not under the sharpest, but the longest trials, that we are most in danger of fainting.”  Andrew Fuller  (1754-1815)

“”It is written, ‘Abraham believed God.’  It does not say Abraham understood God.”  Ethelbert William Bullinger  (1837-1913)

“For if I believe, with the apostle, that ‘all things are of God,’ (2 Cor. 5:18) I shall be less liable to perturbation when afflicted, and learn more easily to possess my soul in patience.”  Jerome Zanchius  (1516-1590)

“God would not be a respectable Being if He were not almighty, and the doer of all things that are done, or if anything could come to pass which He had no hand.”  Martin Luther (1483-1546)

“Only direct thy faith to the depths both of the wisdom and knowledge of God, that it may honour His judgments and ways, the individual particulars of which the human mind can never understand.”  Rudolf E. Stier  (1816-1862)

“What barren restless waters does the light at first reveal.  But the very discovery of the barrenness is progress.”  Andrew Jukes  (1815-1901)
