For a Christian to defy adversities is to "despise" chastisement. Instead of hardening himself to endure stoically, there should be a melting of the heart.

The Bible is no lazy man's book! Much of its treasure, like the valuable minerals stored in the bowels of the earth, only yield up themselves to the diligent seeker.

True liberty is not the power to live as we please, but to live as we ought.

Faithful people have always been in a marked minority.

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