“The Christian lives by revelation, not by the conclusions of reason.”  Herman Hoeksema  (1886-1965)

“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)

“It is far easier to stir up discontent and fear than to stimulate faith.”  William Garden Blaikie  (1820-1899)

“Nothing perhaps more strongly indicates the tone of a believer’s spirituality than the light in which the Scriptures are regarded by him.”  Octavius Winslow  (1808-1878)

“Build not your comfort upon sense and feeling, which is to build upon the sand; but go to the promise, as to the rock for it.”  Thomas Hooker  (1586-1647)

“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)

“But what does it help if man is on your side, if God is against you!”  Frans Bakker  (1919-1965)

“The more we can think upon our Lord and the less upon ourselves, the better.  Looking to him, as he is seated upon the right hand of the throne of God, will keep our heads and especially our hearts steady when going through the deep waters of affliction.”  David Smith  (1792-1867)

“God has presented us with his goodness when he saw nothing in us but impatience and unbelief, when we were like Jonah in the belly of hell, His bowels yearned over us, and His power brought us safe to land.  What did we do to hasten His deliverance or to obtain His mercy?  If He had never come to our relief until He saw something in us to invite Him, we would never have been relived.  No more did we contribute to our restoration than we do to the rising of the sun or the approach of day.”  Timothy Rogers (1653-1728)
