Here's some amazing quotes I found by Jonathan Edwards (one of my absolute favorite authors)
“Prayer is as natural an expression of faith as breathing is of life”
“Resolution One: I will live for God. Resolution Two: If no one else does, I still will.”
“Grace is but glory begun, and glory is but grace perfected.”
“The happiness of the creature consists in rejoicing in God, by which also God is magnified and exalted”
“True liberty consists only in the power of doing what we ought to will, and in not being constrained to do what we ought not to will”
“To pretend to describe the excellence, the greatness or duration of the happiness of heaven by the most artful composition of words would be but to darken and cloud it; to talk of raptures and ecstasies, joy and singing, is but to set forth very low”
“The way to Heaven is ascending; we must be content to travel uphill, though it be hard and tiresome, and contrary to the natural bias of our flesh”

Jonathan Edwards was a great man. I read an excerpt of Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God, and now I wanna read the rest! It should be preached more these days.
Visit my blog. I posted about my beach trip!
Edwards was an amazing writer.
