Ligonier Academy (March 2012)

"Oh what deserving servants hath the world, that will serve it so diligently, so constantly, and at so costly a rate, when they beforehand know, that besides a little transitory, deluding pleasure, it will pay them with nothing but everlasting shame!" - Richard Baxter

"It took our Lord but a moment to speak some of its (the Bible’s) sentences; it will take us a lifetime fully to understand them." - Charles Spurgeon

"To incriminate God, and excuse ourselves, is always an evidence of ignorance and depravity." - Charles Hodge

“The pain of parting is nothing to the joy of meeting again.” ― Charles Dickens
"This doctrine lets us see that believers are no such lowly and wretched persons as the world generally takes them to be; they are Christ's bride, and he is their husband: and, O what an honour is it to be married to the Son of God! Having ...him for an husband, they come to be related to all Christ's relations; God is their Father, because he is his Father; angels are their servants, because they are his servants; saints are their fellow-brethren, because they are his members; heaven is their inheritance, because it is the kingdom of their husband. In a word, whatever is his, is theirs; 'And all things are yours, for ye are Christ's, and Christ is God's,' 2 Cor. 3:22,23." - Ralph Erskine
