I THINK the moments we are nearest to heaven are those we spend at the Lord’s table.

My soul has learned yet more fully than ever, this day, that there is no satisfaction to be found in earthly things-God alone can give rest to my spirit.

If you have to give a carnival to get people to come to church, then you will have to keep giving carnivals to keep them coming back.

We must do business in great waters; we must be really on the deck in a storm, if we would see the works of the Lord and His wonders in the deep. We must have stood side by side with King David; we must have gone down into the pit to slay the lion or have lifted up the spear against the eight hundred, if we would know the saving strength of God's right hand. Conflicts bring experience, and experience brings that growth in grace which is not to be attained by any other means.

If I am not today all that I hope to be, yet I see Jesus, and that assures me that I shall one day be like Him.

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

As for His failing you, never dream of it -- hate the thought of it. The God who has been sufficient until now, should be trusted to the end.
