The weightiest end of the cross of Christ that is laid upon you, lieth upon your strong Savior.
Samuel RutherfordOh thrice fools are we who like new-born princes weeping in the cradle know not that there is a kingdom before them then let our Lord's sweet hand square us and hammer us and strike off the knots of pride self-love and world-worship and infidelity that He may make us stones and pillars in His Father's house.
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 RutherfordVerily, we know not what an evil it is to indulge ourselves, and to make an idol of our will.
Samuel Rutherford
