The body becomes stronger as its members become healthier. The whole church of God gains when the members that compose it begin to seek a better and a higher life.

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

Outside of the will of god, there is nothing I want. And in the will of god there is nothing I fear.

Whatever keeps me from my Bible is my enemy, however harmless it may appear to be.

The fact of God is necessary for the fact of man. Think God away and man has no ground of existence.

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.

For the Christian, humility is absolutely indispensable. Without it there can be no self-knowledge, no repentance, no faith and no salvation.
