Thomas Brooks on Heart-Kowledge

Posted by Bluegrass Endurance | Labels: , , | Posted On Friday, June 9, 2017 at 7:35 AM

“Remember, reader, that a little heart-knowledge, a little experimental knowledge, is of greater efficacy and worth than the highest notions of the most astute scholars.  He does well, who discourses of Christ - but he does infinitely better who, by experimental knowledge, feeds and lives on Christ.”

Thomas Brooks


John Flavel on Revenge and the Heart

Posted by Bluegrass Endurance | Labels: , , | Posted On Thursday, May 4, 2017 at 5:30 AM

"Remember that by revenge you can only gratify a sinful passion, which by forgiveness you might conquer.  Suppose that by revenge you might destroy one enemy; yet by exercising the Christian's temper you might conquer three - your own lust, Satan's temptation, and your enemy's heart."

"Quiet your trembling heart by recording and consulting your past experiences of the care and faithfulness of God in former distresses.  These experiences are food for your faith in a wilderness."

"The heart of man is his worst part before it is regenerated, and the best afterward; it is the seat of principles, and the foundation of actions.  The eye of God is, and the eye of the Christian ought to be, principally fixed upon it."
John Flavel


Stephen Charnock on Worship and the Heart

Posted by Bluegrass Endurance | Labels: , , | Posted On Thursday, March 9, 2017 at 5:30 AM

"Without the heart it is no worship. It is a stage play. It is an acting of a part without being that person, really. It is playing the hypocrite."

Stephen Charnock


J.C. Ryle on Ones Heart

Posted by Bluegrass Endurance | Labels: , | Posted On Thursday, October 1, 2015 at 5:30 AM


“Let us watch jealously over our hearts, and beware of giving way to the beginnings of sin.  Happy is he who feareth always, and walks humbly with his God.  The strongest Christian is the one who feels his weakness most, and cries most frequently, "Hold Thou me up, and I shall be safe." (Psalm 119:117; Pro v. 28: 14.)”
J.C. Ryle

“A hard heart is the anvil on which the hammer of God’s justice will be striking to all eternity. “

Thomas Watson


Isaac Watts on the Heart

Posted by Bluegrass Endurance | Labels: , | Posted On Friday, August 8, 2014 at 5:30 AM

“The great God values not the service of men if the heart be not in it: The Lord sees and judges the heart; He has no regard to outward forms of worship, if there be no inward adoration, if no devout affection be employed therein. It is therefore a matter of infinite importance, to have the whole heart engaged steadfastly for God.”

Isaac Watts

"A desire to be observed, considered, esteemed, praised, beloved, and admired by his fellows is one of the earliest as well as the keenest dispositions discovered in the heart of man."

John Adams
 
 
 

William Gurnall on the Heart and His Word

Posted by Bluegrass Endurance | Labels: , , | Posted On Wednesday, December 2, 2009 at 7:50 AM

A truly sanctified heart dares not skip or blot one word God has written, but desires to be a faithful executor to perform the whole will of God.
