There are two sins of men that are bred in the bone and that continually come out in the flesh. One is self-dependence and the other is self-exultation.

Where God takes such pains to teach, we ought to be at pains to learn.

He who does not love sinners cannot pray aright for them.

When we bless God for mercies, we usually prolong them. When we bless God for miseries, we usually end them. Praise is the honey of life which a devout heart extracts from every bloom of providence and grace.

We ought not to tolerate for a minute the ghastly and grievous thought that God will not answer prayer.

Faith obliterates time, annihilates distance, and brings future things at once into its possession.

We have often asserted, and we affirm it yet again, that no fact in history is better attested than the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. It must not be denied, by any who are willing to pay the slightest respect to the testimony of their fellow-men, that Jesus, who died upon the cross, and was buried in the tomb of Joseph of Arimathea, did literally rise again from the dead.
