A consciousness of our powerlessness should cast us upon Him who has all power. Here then is where a vision and view of God's sovereignty helps, for it reveals His sufficiency and shows us our insufficiency.

An honest heart seeks to please God in all things and offend Him in none.

The gospel is not an announcement that God has relaxed his justice or lowered the standard of His holiness.

In praying for His enemies not only did Christ set before us a perfect example of how we should treat those who wrong us an hate us, but He also taught us never to regard any as beyond the reach of prayer.

To realize that the Holy Scriptures are a revelation from the Most High, communicating to us His mind and defining for us His will, is the first step toward practical godliness. To recognize that the Bible is God's Word, and that its precepts are the precepts of the Almighty, will lead us to see what an awful thing it is to despise and ignore them.

No verse of Scripture yields its meaning to lazy people.

But the great God in under no obligation to any of his creatures, least of all to those who are rebels against him.
