Desires going before conversion are not such as can calm a storming conscience.
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
He who duly esteemeth Christ, is a noble bidder, and so a noble and liberal buyer.
Samuel Rutherford
Image
My Lord Jesus has fully recompensed my sadness with his joys, my losses with his own presence. I find it a sweet and rich thing to exchange my sorrows with Christ's joys, my afflictions with that sweet peace I have with himself.
Samuel Rutherford

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.
