As sure as God puts His children in the furnace of affliction, He will be with them in it.

If I had never joined a church till I had found one that was perfect, I should never have joined one at all.

Never lose heart in the power of the gospel.

There are no crown-wearers in heaven who were not cross-bearers here below.

Whether we like it or not, asking is the rule of the kingdom

The resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead is one of the best attested facts on record. There were so many witnesses to behold it, that if we do in the least degree receive the credibility of men's testimonies, we cannot and we dare not doubt that Jesus rose from the dead.

Lower the Law and you dim the light by which man perceives his guilt; this is a very serious loss to the sinner rather than a gain; for it lessens the likelihood of his conviction and conversion. I say you have deprived the gospel of its ablest auxiliary [its most powerful weapon] when you have set aside the Law. You have taken away from it the schoolmaster that is to bring men to Christ . . . They will never accept grace till they tremble before a just and holy Law. Therefore the Law serves a most necessary purpose, and it must not be removed from its place.
