“In Scripture, “prayer” includes much more than making known our requests to God.  It is something which His people need reminding of, and some of them instructing in, in these days of superficiality and ignorance.”  Arthur W. Pink  (1886-1952)

“A truly wise man is one, not who has attained, but who knows that he “has not attained,” and is pressing onward to perfection.”  (Charles Bridges; 1794-1869)

“It is by no means shameful to trust God. On the contrary, it is a point of honor with good men to trust in Him who is faithful and true; and if they have to suffer for it they do so joyfully. Gird yourselves, therefore, with a holy courage, you who are learning through grace to live upon the promise of God by faith.”  Charles H. Spurgeon  (1834-1892)

“For we may be well assured that what God’s goodness, grace, and mercy moved him to promise, his truth, his faithfulness, and righteousness will move him to perform.”  William Gouge 1575-1653

“He who elevates himself is constantly engaged in wrecking his own life.  But he who is sincerely humble finds richness of life and happiness.”  (Norval Geldenhuys  1918-1964)

“All experience teaches that the holier men become, the more convinced they are of their own sinfulness.”  (Alfred Plummer; 1841-1926)

“To enter the place of a doer before you have occupied that of a listener, is to reverse God’s order and throw everything into confusion.”  Unknown  (1859)

“No sooner are the eyes of a sinner’s understanding opened than he begins to see the exceeding sinfulness of sin in his heart and life.  He sees his innumerable provocations and discerns that malignity in sin which he never saw before.”  (John Colquhoun  1748-1827)

“Men are prone to be deluded by externals, and to suppose that the absence of outward splendor is indicative of the absence of God’s blessing, forgetting that God often chooses the weak things of the earth to confound the mighty, that no flesh may glory in his presence.”  Thomas v. Moore  (1856)

“The goodness of God is a spiritual sunbeam to melt the heart into tears. Oh, says the soul has God been so good to me?  Has He reprieved me so long from hell, and shall I grieve His Spirit any more?  Shall I sin against goodness?”  Thomas Watson   (1620-1686)
