“Godliness with contentment is the basic necessity of the Christian’s life.  No matter what else a man has, unless he has this, he has only a superstructure without a foundation.”  (Charles Caldwell Ryrie  1925)

“A man ought to believe rightly about Christ, but until he rightly believes about himself and sin, he will not believe in Christ to the saving of his soul.”  (Joseph Burnley Moody  1838-1931)

“Until God gives the disposition to believe, men remain unbelieving.  There is, therefore, nothing that men can do to produce regeneration.”  (Jonathan Edwards; 1703-1758)

“An unconvinced conscience is utterly insensible: blinded by sin, it cannot see; and hardened by sin, it cannot feel.  This deep insensibility, this stupid lethargy, this deadness of the conscience to all sense of fear and shame, arises from ignorance of God’s character and law.”  (James Buchanan  1843)

“Men are merciless in their censures of Christians; they have no sympathy for their infirmity: while God weighs them in more equal scales, and says, “The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”  While a saint is a dove in the eyes of God, he is only a raven in the estimation of sinners.”  (William Secker; 1681)

“As gold by fire is severed and parted from dross, so singleness of heart and true Christian simplicity is best seen and made evident in troubles and afflictions.  In prosperity every man will seem godly, but afflictions do draw out of the heart whatsoever is there, whether it be good or bad.”  (Robert Cawdray)

“Truth without love leads to hardness; love without truth leads to weakness.”  (Jerome; 347-420)

“My sins, rising up to stir the wrath of the righteous God, are absorbed in the suffering Savior as they pass, and his righteousness ascends as mine and for me.”  (William Arnot  1808-1875)

“God often allows obstacles to arise, but the way ahead remains clear. God’s will is certain.”  (D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones 1899-1981)

“True theology makes repentance continue throughout life.”  (William H. Van Doren  1810-1882)
