The weightiest end of the cross of Christ that is laid upon you, lieth upon your strong Savior.
Samuel RutherfordBuild your nest in no tree here...for the Lord of the forest has condemned the whole woods to be demolished.
Samuel RutherfordWhen the supreme magistrate will not execute the judgment of the Lord, those who made him supreme magistrate, under God, who have under God, sovereighn liberty to dispose of crowns and kingdoms, are to execute the judgment of the Lord, when wicked men make the law of God of none effect.
Samuel RutherfordYou will not get to steal quietly into heaven, into Christ's company, without a conflict and a cross. I find crosses to be Christ's carved work that he marks out for us and that with crosses he portraits us to his own image, cutting away pieces of our ill and corruption. Lord cut - Lord carve - Lord wound - Lord do anything that may perfect thy Father's image in us and make us ready for glory.
Samuel Rutherford
