To trust God in the light is nothing, but trust him in the dark-that is faith.

If any of you should ask me for an epitome of the Christian religion, I should say that it is in one word - prayer. Live and die without prayer, and you will pray long enough when you get to hell.

You and your sins must separate or you and your God will never come together. No one sin may keep you; they must all be given up, they must be brought out like Canaanite kings from the cave and be hanged up in the sun.

Friendship is one of the sweetest joys of life. Many might have failed beneath the bitterness of their trial had they not found a friend.

The word of God is always most precious to the man who most lives upon it.

Whatever is your greatest joy and treasure, that is your god.

There is nothing in the law of God that will rob you of happiness; it only denies you that which would cost you sorrow.
