Providence so orders the case, that faith and prayer come between our wants and supplies, and the goodness of God may be the more magnified in our eyes thereby.
John FlavelOne word of God can do more than ten thousand words of men to relieve a distressed soul.
John FlavelThat soul is dead to which the Spirit of Christ is not given in the work of regeneration; and all its works are dead works.
John FlavelAnd now let us consider and marvel that ever this great and blessed God should be so much concerned, as you have heard He is in all His providences, about such vile, despicable worms as we are! He does not need us, but is perfectly blessed and happy in Himself without us. We can add nothing to Him.
