 "I have not one good work that I dare think of, much more trust to, but being what I am, unworthy, undeserving, and hell-deserving, I trust Christ to save me, and if he does not save me, he is not as good as his word; but I have no suspicion about that."

 "I dare say, that, in such an auditory as this, a number of Arminians are present. I fear, that all our public assembles have too many of them. Perhaps, however, even these people, idolaters as they are, may be apt to blame, and, indeed, with justice, the absurdity of those who worship idols of silver and gold, the work of men's hands; what must it be, to worship the works of our own hands? Perhaps, you may ask, God forbid that I should do so. Nevertheless, let me tell you, that trust, confidence, reliance, and dependence, for salvation, are all acts and very solemn ones too, of divine worship; and upon whatsoever you depend, whether in whole or part, for your acceptance with God, and for your justification in His sight, whatsoever, you rely upon, and trust in, for the attainment of grace or glory; if it be any thing short of God in Christ, you are an idolater to all intents and purposes."

Augustus Toplady- The Golden Idol of Freewill

How will You Run with Horses

 Jeremiah 12:5-7  “If you have raced with men on foot, and they have wearied you, how will you compete with horses? And if in a safe land you are so trusting, what will you do in the thicket of the Jordan?  6  For even your brothers and the house of your father, even they have dealt treacherously with you; they are in full cry after you; do not believe them, though they speak friendly words to you.”  7  “I have forsaken my house; I have abandoned my heritage; I have given the beloved of my soul into the hands of her enemies.
