Nobody can do as much damage to the church of God as the man who is within its walls, but not within its life.

If you delight more in God’s gifts than in God Himself, you are practically setting up another God above Him, and this you must never do.

Faith is not a blind thing; for faith begins with knowledge. It is not a speculative thing; for faith believes facts of which it is sure. It is not an unpractical, dreamy thing; for faith trusts, and stakes its destiny upon the truth of revelation.

The Word of God is like a lion. You don't have to defend a lion. All you have to do is let the lion loose, and the lion will defend itself.
