Why will God's creatures sin against his throne? Can there be such madness in beings gifted with reason's light?

Sin is the most expensive thing in the universe. Nothing else can cost so much.

A revival of religion presupposes a declension.

No government is lawful or innocent that does not recognize the moral law as the only universal law, and God as the Supreme Lawgiver and Judge, to whom nations in their national capacity, as well as individuals, are amenable.

There can be no revival when Mr. Amen and Mr. Wet-Eyes are not found in the audience.

There is a fear of the Lord which is the beginning of wisdom, which is founded in love. There is also a slavish fear, which is a mere dread of evil, and is purely selfish.

Nothing tends more to cement the hearts of Christians than praying together. Never do they love one another so well as when they witness the outpouring of each other's hearts in prayer.
