"Salvation is of the LORD." -Jonah 2:9

“ The terrors of the law have much the same effect on our duties and obedience as frost has on a stream: it hardens, cools, and stagnates. Whereas, let the shining of divine love rise upon the soul; repentance will then flow, our hardness and coldness thaw and melt away, and all the blooming fruits of godliness flourish and abound.” - Gospel report by preacher Augustus Toplady

"I have preached righteousness in the great congregation" -P SALM 40:9-10 [KJV] There can be no doubt in our mind Who is speaking these words. The proceeding verses declare plainly that our Lord Jesus Christ is coming to accomplish God's will in the matter of our salvation. The book of Hebrews quotes these words and applies them to our Saviour Jesus Christ (Heb. 10:5-10).

It does not rush down like the pelting hail, but falls stilly and often imperceptibly; so that we scarcely know it has fallen, till we go out in the morning and see every blade of grass tipped with the sparkling dew-drops; by these bright gems we know that dew has fallen during the still hours of the night.   So spiritually, the kingdom of God is not in noise, rant, or wild excitement. The Lord was not in the strong wind, nor in the earthquake, nor in the fire, but in the still small voice [I KINGS 19:11, 12 ] . And thus there may be a great deal of religious fire,
