Our sins are debts that none can pay but Christ. It is not our tears, but His blood it is not our sighs, but His sufferings, that can testify for our sins. Christ must pay all, or we are prisoners forever.
Thomas Brooks
Image
The sovereignty of God is that golden sceptre in his hand by which he will make all bow, either by his word or by his works, by his mercies or by his judgements.
Thomas Brooks
Image
Repentance is the vomit of the soul.
Thomas Brooks
