“These are His own words: ‘I will abundantly pardon’ (Is. 55:7). In other words, ‘I will drown your sins in My mercy and spend all I have, rather than let it be said that My good is overcome by your evil.” - William Gurnall. The Christian in Complete Armor “This should teach us in any trouble to set faith to work and feed faith with the consideration of God's unchangeable nature, and the unchangeableness of his promises, which endure forever. We change, but God's promises change not, and God changes not.” — Richard Sibbes “The election of God the Father, the continual intercession of God the Son, the daily renewing and sanctifying power of God the Holy Ghost surround and fence them in like a garden enclosed.” — J.C. Ryle

“Humanly speaking everything seems to be going a ruck, yet Yahweh is fulfilling his word. Not that it is pleasant - anything but. Yet Yahweh has not hung out a vacancy sign over his universe or his people. He is there, bringing his word to pass.“ — Dale Ralph Davis “For we are not saved by believing in our own salvation, nor by believing anything whatsoever about ourselves. We are saved by what we believe about the Son of God and His righteousness. The gospel believed saves; not the believing in our own faith.” — Horatius Bonar “Christ’s comforts are of a higher nature than any trouble.” — Richard Sibbes

Expository preaching, by itself, will not fix bad theology because the preacher brings his theology to every passage he preaches. “What distinguishes the persons of the Trinity from each other are their relations to each other, not their relations to us.” —— Scott Swain, The Trinity: An Introduction, 33 “Jesus stands before them, the Divine Seer, whom they blindfold. He is the one on whose lips are God's words, yet they slap him in the mouth. He is the prophet promised by Moses. But they are too blind to recognize him.” — Sinclair Ferguson, To Seek and To Save 115. “O study than the perfect freeness and the absolute sufficiency of the salvation of Jesus.
