When home is ruled according to God's Word, angels might be asked to stay a night with us, and they would not find themselves out of their element.

Affliction of itself does not sanctify any body, but the reverse. I believe in sanctified afflictions, but not in sanctifying afflictions.

Our misery is that we thirst so little for these sublime things, and so much for the mocking trifles of time and space.

As sure as God puts His children in the furnace of affliction, He will be with them in it.

The fact of resurrection is not extraordinary; it is in accord with what we who believe at all believe to be the uniform law of life--that death does not touch it. The witnesses to the resurrection of Christ were unprejudiced, unexpectant, incredulous, and their honesty is not doubted even by skeptical criticism.

The Lord who cannot endure vain repetitions is equally weary of vain variations.

Praise is the rehearsal of our eternal song. By grace we learn to sing, and in glory we continue to sing. What will some of you do when you get to heaven, if you go on grumbling all the way? Do not hope to get to heaven in that style. But now begin to bless the name of the Lord.
