Samuel Rutherford Quote of the Day

"Build your nest upon no tree here; for ye see God hath sold the forest to death; and every tree whereupon we would rest is ready to be cut down, to the end we may fly and mount up, and build upon the Rock, and dwell in the holes of the Rock."

–January 15, 1629 letter to from S. R. to Lady Kenmure

The Samuel Rutherford Quote of the Day is a new feature here at NeoArch. I mentioned Rutherford in a post on Saturday, and I have decided to read at least one letter a day. The great thing about Rutherford's letters is that they are all quotable (if not all, at least the ones Andrew Bonar selected for publication.) Banner of Truth now publishes a nice hardback edition of these letters in addition to the abbreviated Puritan Paperback version that they have published for some time now. If you like the Rutherford quotes, get the book. There's tons more in it. I would link the book, but the hardback is so new that none of the bookstores I found have it listed yet.
