“The cure for unbelief is not argument, but the action of the Holy Spirit.”  George Burrowes  (First published 1853)

“Yet such is the infatuation of sin, that man in his boasted wisdom will not do, what the bird will do by her native instinct.  She shuns the net spread in her sight; man rushes into it.”  Charles Bridges  (First published 1846)

“God is to be worshipped because He is God, because He is the Creator, because He is the Almighty, because He is the “high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity.”  D Martyn Lloyd-Jones  (1899-1981)

“An imperfect insight into the actual needs and misery of man results in giving inadequate prescriptions for finding relief.”  Norval Geldenhuys

“The light of a Christian character will shine before men and win glory for God without the artificial aid of public advertisement.”  Alfred Plummer (1841-1926)

“No sooner is confession made than forgiveness is granted.”  James G. Murphy  (1849-1921)

“Thou, our God, hast punished us less than our iniquities deserve, after all that is come upon us for our evil deeds,”  (Ezra 9:13).  Shall, then, a living man complain for the punishment of his sin, when it is so infinitely far less than he deserves?  Thomas Goodwin  (1600-1679)

“The Lord has spoken” is enough for us.  There is no room for question or cavil where His voice is heard.  Each word in the Bible is to be dealt with as a sacred thing, as a vessel of the sanctuary, not to be lightly handled of profanely mutilated, but to be received just as it stands.”  Horatius Bonar  (1808-1890)

“You will soon know that your bitterest trials and your sorest pains are sure tokens of His love.  The father corrects because he loves.  In anxious care the physician deeply probes the wounds.  Thus Jesus makes earth hard, that you may long for heaven’s holy rest.  He shows you your self-vileness that you may prize His cleansing blood.  He suffers you to stumble that you may cleave more closely to His side.  He makes the world a blank that you may seek all comfort in Himself.  If He seems to change, it is that you may change.  He hides His face, that you may look towards Him.  He is silent, that you may cry more loudly.  His desertion prevents your desertion.”  Henry Law  (1797-1844)

“For by faith the heart is purified, and consequently the life.  To believe the gospel is to obey from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered unto us.”  John Fawcett  (1740-1817)
