God knows all that is done in the most secret caverns of the heart. No place is deprived of his presence.

Stephen Charnock (Clergyman, 1628 – 1680)

Our ignorance of God is too great, because our estimations of God are too little.

Stephen Charnock (Clergyman, 1628 – 1680)

We often learn more of God under the rod that strikes us than under the staff that comforts us.

Stephen Charnock (Clergyman, 1628 – 1680)

Let us look upon a crucified Christ, the remedy of all our miseries. His cross hath procured a crown, his passion hath expiated our transgression. His death hath disarmed the law, his blood hath washed a believer’s soul. This death is the destruction of our enemies, the spring of our happiness, and the eternal testimony of divine love.

Stephen Charnock (Clergyman, 1628 – 1680)

When we believe that we should be satisfied rather than God glorified in our worship, then we put God below ourselves as though He had been made for us rather than that we had been made for Him.

Stephen Charnock (Clergyman, 1628 – 1680)

Power is God’s hand or arm, omniscience is God’s eye, mercy is God’s delight, eternity is God’s duration, but holiness is God’s beauty!

Stephen Charnock (Clergyman, 1628 – 1680)

Christ is so in love with holiness, that at the price of His blood He will buy it for us.

John Flavel (Minister, 1627 – 1691)

To see a man humble under prosperity is one of the greatest rarities in the world.

John Flavel (Minister, 1627 – 1691)

Look to it, my dear friends, that none of you be found Christless at your appearance before him. Those that continue Christless now, will be left speechless then. God forbid that you that have heard so much of Christ, and you that have professed so much of Christ, should at last fall into a worse condition than those that never heard the name of Christ.

John Flavel (Minister, 1627 – 1691)

Suppose that by revenge you might destroy one enemy; yet, by exercising the Christian’s temper you might conquer three‌–‌your own lust, Satan’s temptation, and your enemy’s heart.

John Flavel (Minister, 1627 – 1691)
