Verily, we know not what an evil it is to indulge ourselves, and to make an idol of our will.
Samuel RutherfordBuild your nest in no tree here...for the Lord of the forest has condemned the whole woods to be demolished.
Samuel RutherfordKeep God's covenant in your trials; hold you by His blessed word, and sin not; flee anger, wrath, grudging, envying, fretting; forgive a hundred pence to your fellow-servant, because your Lord hath forgiven you ten thousand talents: for, I assure you by the Lord, your adversaries shall get no advantage against you, except you sin, and offend your Lord, in your sufferings.
Samuel Rutherford
