God writes with a pen that never blots, speaks with a tongue that never slips, acts with a hand that never fails

I believe that in public worship we should do well to be bound by no human rules, and constrained by no stereotyped order.

God could not have given this promise, except from love and grace; therefore it is quite certain his Word will be fulfilled.

Music is at its best when it is pleasingly melancholic.

You may fear that the Lord has passed you by, but it is not so: he who counts the stars, and calls them by their names, is in no danger of forgetting his own children. He knows your case as thoroughly as if you were the only creature he ever made, or the only saint he ever loved. Approach him and be at peace.

I believe the hard heartest, most cross grained and most unloving Christians in all the world are those who have not had much trouble in their life. And those that are the most sympathizing, loving and Christlike are generally those who have the most affliction. The worse thing that can happen to any of us is to have a path made too smooth. One of the greatest blessings the Lord ever gave us was a cross.

They will never accept grace till they tremble before a just and holy law.
