Image
He who duly esteemeth Christ, is a noble bidder, and so a noble and liberal buyer.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
Faith's speculations to the worst and hardest, in point of resolution, are sweet.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
The bloom fell off my branches and joy did cast off its flower
Samuel Rutherford
Image
They lose nothing who gain Christ.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
I urge you a nearer communion with Christ, and a growing communion. There are curtains to be opened in Christ that we have never seen before... Therefore dig deep, and sweat, and labor. Take pains for Him, and set aside as much time as you can in each day for Him.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
Every day we may see some new thing in Christ. His love hath neither brim nor bottom.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
There is nothing that will make you a Christian indeed, but a taste of the sweetness of Christ.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
The cross of Christ is the sweetest burden that I ever bore it is such a burden as wings are to a bird, or sails to a ship, to carry me forward to my harbor.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
Let your children be as so many flowers, borrowed from God. If the flowers die or wither, thank God for a summer loan of them.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
I wonder many times that ever a child of God should have a sad heart, considering what their Lord is preparing for them.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
Grow as a palm-tree on God's Mount Zion howbeit shaken with winds, yet the root is fast.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
I find my Lord Jesus cometh not in the precise way that I lay wait for Him. He hath a manner of His own. Oh, how high are His ways above my ways
Samuel Rutherford
Image
We take nothing to the grave with us, but a good or evil conscience... It is true, terrors of conscience cast us down and yet without terrors of conscience we cannot be raised up again.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
Consider, it is impossible that your idol sins and you can go to heaven together and that those who will not part with these do not indeed love Christ at the bottom, but only in word and show, which will not do the business.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
Be not cast down. If ye saw Him who is standing on the shore, holding out His arms to welcome you to land, ye would wade, not only through a sea of wrongs, but through hell itself to be with Him.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
Those who can take that crabbed tree handsomely upon their back, and fasten it on cannily, shall find it such a burden as wings unto a bird, or sails to a ship.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
There is nothing left to us but to see how we may be approved of Him, and how we may roll the weight of our weak souls in well-doing upon Him, who is God omnipotent.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
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
Image
Christ and His cross are not separable in this life, howbeit Christ and His cross part at heaven's door, for there is no house-room for crosses in heaven. One tear, one sigh, one sad heart, one fear, one loss, one thought of trouble cannot find lodging there.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
Christ chargeth me to believe His daylight at midnight.
Samuel Rutherford
