Build your nest in no tree here...for the Lord of the forest has condemned the whole woods to be demolished.
Samuel RutherfordThe weightiest end of the cross of Christ that is laid upon you, lieth upon your strong Savior.
Samuel RutherfordChrist's enemies are but breaking their own heads in pieces, upon the Rock laid in Zion; and the stone is not removed out of its place. Faith hath cause to take courage from our very afflictions; the devil is but a whetstone to sharpen the faith and patience of the saints. I know that he but heweth and polisheth stones, all this time, for the new Jerusalem.
Samuel RutherfordLet your children be as so many flowers, borrowed from God. If the flowers die or wither, thank God for a summer loan of them.
