Jonathan Edwards

Jonathan Edwards
Image
When God is about to do a mighty new thing He always sets His people praying.
Jonathan Edwards

Jonathan Edwards

Being sensible that I am unable to do any thing without God's help, I do humbly entreat Him, by His grace, to enable me to keep these Resolutions, so far as they are agreeable to His will, for Christ's sake.
Jonathan Edwards
Image
I make it my rule, to lay hold of light and embrace it, wherever I see it, though held forth by a child or an enemy.
Jonathan Edwards
