“God has appointed to every one his task, fight, trial, and work; and till that is done we are in a sort immortal.”
Thomas Boston
To the Full
“His [Christ] humiliation was the price of your exaltation, and his exaltation a testimony of the acceptance of its payment to the full. There is no humbling circumstances ye are in, but ye would have perished in them, had not he purchased your lifting up out of them by his own humiliation.”
Thomas Boston
Crooked Parts
“God has, by an eternal decree, immoveable as mountains of brass, appointed the whole of every one’s lot, the crooked parts thereof, as well as the straight.”
Thomas Boston
At Supper
“It is a sad thing to be Christians at a supper, heathens in our shops, and devils in our closets.”
Stephen Charnock
To Pretend
“To pretend to homage to God, and intend only the advantage of self, is rather to mock him than worship him.”
Stephen Charnock
Slightest Sin
“The closer we are to God, the more the slightest sin will cause us deep sorrow.”
R.C. Sproul
Peerless
“He is solitary in His majesty, unique in His excellency, peerless in His perfections. He sustains all, but is Himself independent of all. He gives to all, but is enriched by none.”
Arthur W. Pink
No Winter
“It is said that in some countries trees will grow, but will bear no fruit because there is no winter there.”
John Bunyan
