The tears of affliction are often needed to keep the eye of faith bright.

You and your sins must separate, or you and your God will never come together.

If you rest on the finished work of Jesus you have already the best evidence of your salvation in the world; you have God's word for it; what more is needed?

When the pangs shoot through our body, and ghastly death appears in view, people see the patience of the dying Christian. Our infirmities become the black velvet on which the diamond of God's love glitters all the more brightly. Thank God I can suffer ! Thank God I can be made the object of shame and contempt, for in this way God shall be glorified.

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

Victory needs conflict as its preface.

God is our portion, Christ our companion, the Spirit our Comforter, Earth our lodge, and Heaven is our home.
