I cannot conceive of a greater wounding of the heart of Christ than to pay reverence to anything in the shape of a cross, or to bow before a crucifix!

The church may go through her dark ages, but Christ is with her in the midnight; she may pass through her fiery furnace, but Christ is in the midst of the flame with her.

Be deaf, be blind, be dead to gossip, and it will grow disgusted with you and select a more sensitive victim.

When all else is changing within and around, in God and His mercy no change can be found.

I do not know when I am more perfectly happy than when I am weeping for sin at the foot of the cross.

I shall never understand, even in heaven, why the Lord Jesus should ever have loved me.

Is there any man that thinks in chains like the man who calls himself a free-thinker? Is there any man so credulous as the man who will not believe in the Bible? He swallows a ton of difficulties, and yet complains that we have swallowed an ounce of them. He has much more need of faith of a certain sort than we have, for skepticism has far harder problems than faith.
