Samuel RutherfordWe take nothing to the grave with us, but a good or evil conscience... It is true, terrors of conscience cast us down; and yet without terrors of conscience we cannot be raised up again.
Samuel RutherfordThink it not hard if you get not your will, nor your delights in this life; God will have you to rejoice in nothing but himself.
Samuel RutherfordBelieve God's love and power more than you believe your own feelings and experiences. Your rock is Christ, and it is not the rock that ebbs and flows but the sea.
Samuel Rutherford
