“Christianity is a system intended not merely to awaken excitement or instruct the intellect, but to rule the life and form the character.”  David Thomas  (1813-1894)

“The cry of faith and penitence is never in vain.”  (James G. Murphy; 1808-1896)

“The heart can make all known to God.  Thoughts, and feelings, and acts that we should be ashamed to confess to our fellow men, we fear not to confess to Him.”  J.J. Stewart Perowne  (1823-1904)

“My brethren, faith brings home to the heart a message of a higher sovereignty, even of love from God borne to you, and tells everyone that professes an interest in God, that God has shown His absolute dominion already toward you in saving your souls.”  (Thomas Goodwin; 1600-1679)

“An unctuous word dropped by the Holy Ghost upon the heart is like “cold water to a thirsty soul;” and whilst it exalts and endears a precious Christ, in his person, work, and offices, it is the most deadly artillery with which Satan and all the powers of darkness can be attacked.”  David Alfred Doudney  (1811-1893)

“During his ministry our Lord had said and done many things contrary to the notions of the masses of men, and had set up the highest claims to reverence, worship and obedience from men…So great was the importance of the event and such was its connection with all that is vital in religion that our justification and indeed our whole hope of salvation are in Scripture made to depend upon it.” (Rom.4:25; 1 Pet. 1:3)  William S. Plumer  (1802-1880)

“Particular truths can be fully understood, and the power of certain promises can be adequately felt, only by our being brought into situations where the soul is made to feel the need of those truths and those promises.”George Burrowes  (First published 1853)

“Sin has made men worship either (1) a false God, which is idolatry; or (2) God falsely, which is superstition.”  Ralph Venning (1622-1674)

“It is, then, from spiritual and heart-affecting views of the Lamb of God bearing our sins and carrying our sorrows that the exercise of evangelical repentance immediately flows…The exercise of evangelical repentance, springs from a true sense of sin.”  John Colquhoun  (1748-1827)

“In the work of Christ we are passive; in the work of the Holy Spirit we are made active.”  Claude Duval Cole  (1885-1968)
