The secret formula of the saints: When I am in the cellar of affliction, I look for the Lord's choicest wines.
Samuel RutherfordIf so be that freewill were our tutor, and we had our heaven in our own keeping, then we would lose all. But because we have Christ for our tutor, and He has our heaven in His hand, therefore the covenant it must be perpetual.
Samuel RutherfordWhen we shall come home, and enter into the possession of our Brother's fair kingdom, and when our heads shall find the weight of the eternal crown of glory, then we shall look back to pains and sufferings and then we will see life and sorrow to be less than one step or stride from a prison to glory. Our little inch of time-suffering is not worthy of our first night's welcome-home to heaven.
Samuel RutherfordEvery day we may see some new thing in Christ. His love hath neither brim nor bottom.
Samuel Rutherford
