“There can be no evil from the hand of the Lord. Evil is good when it comes from Him. He no longer puts the benefits received from God in one scale and the afflictions in the other. But afflictions are now put into the same scale with the benefits—for they, too, are benefits when God sends them.” (William Henry Green; 1825-1900)

“In the sufferings and death of the Lamb of God, he sees what infinite wrath, what tremendous punishment he as a sinner deserves.” (John Colquhoun; 1748-1827)

“One error requires another to maintain it, this second must have a third or fourth to lean on. One false step leads to twenty, or perhaps to a hundred more. Who knows where all this is to end.” (Horatius Bonar 1808-1889)

To present the bait and hide the hook; to present the golden cup, and hide the poison; to present the sweet, the pleasure, and the profit that may flow in upon the soul by wrath and misery that will certainly follow the committing of sin. By this device he took our first parents: ‘And the serpent said until the woman, Ye shall not surely die.’ (Thomas Brooks, 1608-1680)

“No man or devil is as bad to us as our evil self is to us.” (Augustine; 354-430)

“Heresy admits enough of Christ to calm the conscience, but it retains enough of self to slay the soul.” (Henry Law; 1797-1884)

“Lean not unto thine own understanding; think not to accomplish thy designs by the strength of thine own without God’s blessing.” (Matthew Poole; 1624-1679)
