If the devil never roars, the Church will never sing! God is not doing much if the devil is not awake and busy. Depend upon it: a working Christ makes a raging devil! When you hear ill reports, cruel speeches, threats, taunts and the like, believe that the Lord is among His people and is working gloriously.

Now let us find solace in the finished work of our Lord Jesus. Everything is fully done: justice demands no more.

If Christ is not all to you He is nothing to you. He will never go into partnership as a part Saviour of men. If He be something He must be everything, and if He be not everything He is nothing to you.

If you will not have death unto sin, you shall have sin unto death. There is no alternative. If you do not die to sin, you shall die for sin. If you do not slay sin, sin will slay you.

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

We hold that man is never so near grace as when he begins to feel he can do nothing at all.

God is too good to be unkind, too wise to be mistaken; and when you cannot trace His hand, you can trust His heart.
