“All prayers that are acceptable with God are the breathings of his own Spirit within us.”  Robert South  (1633-1716)

“We have not to wait and work to be forgiven.  The work has long since been done.  The decree went forth, the releasing word was spoken and the forgiveness was declared when Jesus left his tomb; and all that any man has to do on that subject is to believe it, and to appropriate to himself the glorious reprieve.”  (Joseph Augustus Seiss, 1823-1904)

“Our daily acts of communion with God, our daily praise and our daily thanksgiving must be found afresh on the work of Jesus. ‘By Him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually.’”  (Hebrews 13: 15)  A.A. Bonar, 1808-1889

“Pre-eminently He was the Lamb of God and He was sacrificed for us.  Let us reckon ourselves judged in Him. The Judgment which has befallen Him has settled the great question of sin.  He was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities, the chastisement of our peace was upon Him, and with His stripes we are healed.”  Frederick Brotherton Meyer  (1847-1929)

“Make God your counsellor and friend; you cannot please him better than when your hearts rely wholly upon him.”  (John Berridge; 1716-1793)

“The heart is ever prone to divide its confidence between God and the creature.  This will never do.  We must  ‘wait only upon God.’  ‘He only’ must be our ‘rock,’ our ‘salvation,’ and our ‘defense.’  When we are frequently tempted to look to an arm of flesh first, and when that fails us, we look to God.  This will never do either.”  Charles Mackintosh  (1858)

“Our Lord has told us that ‘a man’s life consists not in the abundance of the things that he possesses.’”  Thomas McCrie; 1772-1835

“The Son of David and Son of God are thus finally described by three well-known titles: “Jesus”  which identifies Him as the crucified Savior, “Christ” the promised Messiah, our Lord” the exalted King, to whom all power is given in heaven and in earth.”  E.H. Gifford (1820-1905)

“The fruit of the Lord’s putting his own in straits is to make them and all men see that he has ways of deliverance, more than they know of; and that he will save his own when men count their case desperate: for, salvation belongs to the Lord.”  David Dickson  (1583-1662)

“Particular truths can be fully understood, and the power of certain promises can be adequately felt, only by our being brought into situations where the soul is made to feel the need of those truths and those promises.” George Burrowes  (1600-1646)
