Sin is a thing of time, but mercy is from everlasting. Transgression is but of yesterday, but mercy was ever of old. Before you and I sought the Lord, the Lord sought us.

Where God works, He works with men that work.

No man ever made himself to live. No preacher, however earnest, can make one hearer to live. No parent, however prayerful, no teacher, however tearful, can make a child live unto God. “You hath HE quickened,” is true of all who are quickened.

May your convictions be deep, your love real, and your desires earnest

Whenever there is a cross to be carried by any of Christ’s followers, He always bears the heavy end on His own shoulders.

As the salt flavors every drop in the Atlantic, so does sin affect every atom of our nature. It is so sadly there, so abundantly there, that if you cannot detect it, you are deceived.

Nothing teaches us about the preciousness of the Creator as much as when we learn the emptiness of everything else.
