I know not a better rule of reading the Scripture, than to read it through from beginning to end and when we have finished it once, to begin it again. We shall meet with many passages which we can make little improvement of, but not so many in the second reading as in the first, and fewer in the third than in the second: provided we pray to him who has the keys to open our understandings, and to anoint our eyes with His spiritual ointment.
John NewtonHow many times has He delivered me! Yet, alas! How distrustful and ungrateful is my heart even until the present!
John NewtonAlthough my memory's fading, I remember two things very clearly: I am a great sinner and Christ is a great Savior.
John NewtonWe serve a gracious Master who knows how to overrule even our mistakes to his glory and our own advantage.
