Jonathan Edwards lived 1703 - 1758 and was an amazing theologian who Christ used mightily in the Great Awakening. I was flicking through some quotes from him and thoughtthey may be encouraging, challenging and of interest to others.
"Prayer is as natural an expression of faith as breathing is of life"
"To go to heaven, fully to enjoy God, is infinitely better than the most pleasant accommodations here"
"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"
"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"
"A man of a right spirit is not a man of narrow and private views, but is greatly interested and concerned for the good of the community to which he belongs, and particularly of the city or village in which he resides, and for the true welfare of the society of which he is a member."
Also, check out Jonathan Edwards' Resolutions.
