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

My faith rests not in what I am, or shall be, or feel, or know, but in what Christ is, in what he has done, and in what he is doing for me.

If you delight more in God’s gifts than in God Himself, you are practically setting up another God above Him, and this you must never do.

Patience! patience! You are always in a hurry, but God is not.

Faith is a principle which hath its root deeper feeling. We believe, whether we see or not.

Be thankful for the thorns and thistles, which keep you from being in love with this world, and becoming an idolater.

Often doubts will prevail. What a mercy it is that it is not your hold of Christ that saves you, but His hold of you! What a sweet fact that it is not how you grasp His hand, but His grasp of yours that saves you.
