I find it most true that the greatest temptation outside of hell is to live without temptations; if water stands, it rots; faith is the better for the sharp winter storm in its face and grace withers without adversity. The devil is but God's master fencer to teach us to handle our weapons.
Samuel RutherfordGrace will ever speak for itself and be fruitful in well-doing; the sanctified, cross is a fruitful tree.
Samuel RutherfordAfter winter comes the summer. After night comes the dawn. And after every storm, there comes clear, open skies.
Samuel RutherfordWhen I look to my guiltiness, I see that my salvation is one of our Saviour's greatest miracles, either in heaven or earth.
