Defend the Bible? I would as soon defend a lion! Unchain it and it will defend itself.

The stool of repentance and the foot of the cross are the favorite positions of instructed Christians.

We are in hot haste to set the world right and to order all affairs; the Lord hath the leisure of conscious power and unerring wisdom, and it will be well for us to learn to wait.

When fathers are tongue tied religiously with their offspring, need they wonder if their children's hearts remain sin tied?

Pardon ever follows sincere repentence.

Christ will be master of the heart, and sin must be mortified. If your life is unholy, then your heart is unchanged, and you are an unsaved person. The Savior will sanctify His people, renew them, give them a hatred of sin, and a love of holiness. The grace that does not make a man better than others is a worthless counterfeit. Christ saves His people, not IN their sins, but FROM their sins. Without holiness, no man shall see the Lord.

Has there not been, sometimes, this temptation to do a great deal for Christ, but not to live a great deal with Christ?
