God save the Queen.- Proclamation on Skye, 3rd August 1830 (Any moral difference between this and the slave trade?)

The basis for our security in salvation is not ultimately our righteousness or obedience but God's promise, God’s power, God’s purpose, and most of all God’s passionate love for us in Christ. God is committed to preserving us in faith, for if we were to stumble so as to fully and finally fall away, God stands more to lose than we do.- Sam Storms, A Defense of the Perseverance of the Saints – Part II, November 6, 2006,

Christ chargeth me to believe His daylight at midnight.- Samuel Rutherford
