God is our portion, Christ our companion, the Spirit our Comforter, Earth our lodge, and Heaven is our home.

Satan always hates Christian fellowship; it is his policy to keep Christians apart. Anything which can divide saints from one another he delights in. He attaches far more importance to godly intercourse than we do. Since union is strength, he does his best to promote separation.

I would sooner walk in the dark, and hold hard to a promise of my God, than trust in the light of the brightest day that ever dawned.

There, poor sinner, take my garment, and put it on; you shall stand before God as if you were Christ, and I will stand before God as if I had been the sinner; I will suffer in the sinner's stead, and you shall be rewarded for works that you did not do, but which I did for you.

We shall not long have love to man if we do not first and chiefly cultivate love to God.

Our hope in Christ for the future is the mainspring and the mainstay of our joy down here today.

I am afraid that all the grace that I have got of my comfortable and easy times and happy hours, might almost lie on a penny.
