“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 or 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 seem 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)

“Nothing that a man does in this life is without consequences.  Every effect has a cause, and every cause produces an effect.  So many of our troubles arise from the fact that we forget that causes lead to effects, and that these effects in turn lead to certain inevitable consequences.”  D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones  (1899-1981)
