God never hurries. There are no deadlines against which he must work. Only to know this is to quiet our spirits and relax our nerves.

Christianity takes for granted the absence of any self-help and offers a power which is nothing less than the power of God.

To square the records, however, it should be said that if the Calvinist does not rise as high, he usually stays up longer. He places more emphasis on the Holy Scriptures which never change, while his opposite number (as the newspapers say) tends to judge his spiritual condition by the state of his feelings, which change constantly. This may be the reason that so many Calvinistic churches remain orthodox for centuries, at least in doctrine, while many churches of the Arminian persuasion often go liberal in one generation.

Leadership requires vision, and whence will vision come except from hours spent in the presence of God in humble and fervent prayer?

Heaven is beautiful because it is the expression of that which is the perfection of beauty.

Unbelief is actually perverted faith, for it puts its trust, not in the living God but in dying men. The unbeliever denies the selfsufficiency of God and usurps attributes that are not his. This dual sin dishonors God and ultimately destroys the soul of man.
