What They Said

“Nothing can give me greater hope and assurance than my knowledge of the character of God. ‘I dare not trust the sweetest frame’, as the hymn reminds us, because frames are so changeable, but I can rely upon Him always. God is eternal, God is immutable, God is everlasting; God never changes His purpose. There is no greater comfort or consolation than this. God never starts a work without finishing it.” 

Martyn Lloyd-Jones

"“ Jehovah” alone is the “God,” or covenanted Saviour of his people; he is the only “rock,” on " which they may securely build their hope of heaven.Vain were the idols of the ancient world, Baal and Jupiter; as vain are those of modern times, Pleasure,  Honour, and Profit. They cannot bestow content, or make their votaries happy below; much less can they deliver from death, or open the everlasting doors above."

George Horne

"But it would be an instance in myself of that very false shame which I have condemned in others, if I were not boldly to avow my firm persuasion, that to the decline of religion and morality our national difficulties must both directly and indirectly be chiefly ascribed; and that my only solid hopes for the well-being of my country depend not so much on her fleets and armies, not so much on the wisdom of her rulers, or the spirit of her people, as on the persuasion that she still contains many who, in a degenerate age, love and obey the gospel of Christ; on the humble trust that the intercession of these may still be prevalent, that for the sake of these, heaven may still look upon us with an eye of favour."

William Wilberforce

"Hope fills the afflicted soul with such inward joy and consolation, that it can laugh while tears are in the eye, sigh and sing all in a breath; it is called "The rejoicing of hope."

William Gurnall
