The heads and hearts of multitudes have been filled with such a crowd and noise of worldly business that they have lamentably declined in their zeal, their love, their delight in God, and their heavenly, serious, and profitable way of conversing with men. --- John Flavel.
Christ's love did not rest in mere feeling, nor in light efforts and small sacrifices, but though we were enemies, yet He so loved us, that He was willing to deny Himself, and undertake the greatest efforts, and undergo the greatest sufferings, for our sakes. -- Jonathan Edwards.

It is not prayer, it is not faith, it is not our doings, it is not our feelings upon which we must rest, but upon Christ and ON CHRIST ALONE!
— C. H. Spurgeon
