“While he assists our weakness, he does not intend to encourage our laziness, and therefore we are also  ‘to labor, and strive according to his working, which worketh in us mightily.”  (Henry Dove)

“The heart of man, is deceitful above all things and even the Christian knows very little of himself.  Affliction lets down a blazing torch for him into the depths of his own nature, and he sees many things which he little expected to see.  (Robert Johnstone  1871)

“A true and genuine confession will not hide anything; rather it is straightforward, without excuse, offering no palliation of guilt.”  (Lehman Strauss  1911-1997)

“If the living God is not the resource of the soul in every trial and on every occasion, worldly policy and human expedients and plans will take His place; and then the child of God, instead of winning victories of faith, and triumphing in the strength of the Lord, sink down lower even than the level of the world around him, and becomes a mere object of ridicule or pity.”  (Henry W. Soltau  1851)

“When He was upon earth, He cured those that were vexed by Satan.  Are you tempted and vexed by Satan?  Christ is as gracious in heaven as He was on earth.”  (William Bridge  1600-1671)

“The will of God and His decrees are unchangeable: that there can be no alteration in the Divine intention, no new act arise in His mind, no reversion of His eternal plan, all being founded in adorable sovereignty, ordered by infallible wisdom, ratified by omnipotence, and cemented with immutability.” (Jerome Zanchius  1516-1590)

“So the dying Christian, when he gets on the last summit of life and stretches his vision to catch a glimpse of the heavenly city, may cry out of its glories, and incite those who are behind to press forward to the sight.”  (Edward Payson  1783-1827)

“God’s great rival is the world. The lust of the flesh, pleasure; the lust of the eye, desire; the pride of life, the longing to be deemed superior to those about us,–comprise everything man naturally covets.  Give us ease, honor, distinction, and all life’s good will seem obtained.”  (Robert Nisbet)

“The greatest service we can do unto God is to trust him.”  (Martin Luther  1483-1546)

“Oh trust in the Lord for happiness as well as for help!  All the springs of happiness are in him.  Trust in him who gives us all things richly to enjoy.”  (John Wesley  1703-1791)
