By affliction prayer is quickened, for our prayers are very apt to grow languid and formal in a time of ease.
John NewtonIf the Lord be with us, we have no cause of fear. His eye is upon us, His arm over us, His ear open to our prayer - His grace sufficient, His promise unchangeable.
John NewtonMay we sit at the foot of the cross; and there learn what sin has done, what justice has done, what love has done.
John NewtonThe Law was given by Moses; the moral law, to discover the extent and abounding sin; the ceremonial law, to point out, by typical sacrifices and ablutions, the way in which forgiveness was to be sought and obtained. But grace, to relieve us from the condemnation of the one, and truth answerable to the types and shadows of the other, came by Jesus Christ.
