Quote of the Day – Isaac Ambrose

“Use thy duties, as Noah’s dove did her wings, to carry thee to the ark of the Lord Jesus Christ, where only there is rest.”

– Isaac Ambrose

Quote of the Day – Stephen Charnock

“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

Quote of the Day – John Trapp

He that rides to be crowned, will not think much of a rainy day.

– John Trapp

Quote of the Day – John Owen

Let no man think to kill sin with few, easy, or gentle strokes. He who hath once smitten a serpent, if he follow not on his blow until it be slain, may repent that ever he began the quarrel. And so he who undertakes to deal with sin, and pursues it not constantly to the death.

– John Owen

Quote of the Day – Thomas Watson

Praising God is one of the highest and purest acts of religion. In prayer we act like men; in praise we act like angels.

– Thomas Watson

Quote of the Day – William Gurnall

Peace of conscience is nothing but the echo of pardoning mercy.

– William Gurnall

Note: William Gurnall is best known for his massive work, The Christian In Complete Armor, an exposition of the armor of God described in Ephesians 6. Spurgeon called it “peerless and priceless.” It is well worth your time.

Eternity to the godly is a day that has no sunset; eternity to the wicked is a night that has no sunrise.

– Thomas Watson

Quote of the Day – John Owen

A minister may fill his pews, his communion roll, the mouths of the public, but what that minister is on his knees in secret before God Almighty, that he is and no more.

– John Owen

Quote of the Day – Richard Sibbes

If we desire to end our days in joy and comfort, let us lay the foundation of a comfortable death now betimes. To die well is not a thing of that light moment as some imagine: it is no easy matter. But to die well is a matter of every day. Let us daily do some good that may help us at the time of our death. Every day by repentance pull out the sting of some sin, that so when death comes, we may have nothing to do but to die. To die well is the action of the whole life.

– Richard Sibbes

Quote of the Day – Samuel Rutherford

The secret formula of the saints: When I am in the cellar of affliction, I look for the Lord’s choicest wines.

– Samuel Rutherford
