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

If you wait for a perfect church, you must wait until you get to heaven; and even if you could find a perfect assembly on earth, I am sure they would not admit you to their fellowship, for you are not perfect yourself.

See yonder another King's garden, which the King waters with his bloody sweat-Gethsemane, whose bitter herbs are sweeter far to renewed souls than even Eden's luscious fruits. There the mischief of the serpent in the first garden was undone: there the curse was lifted from earth, and borne by the woman's promised seed.

I would bear any affliction rather than be burdened with a guilty conscience.

As the rain soaks into the ground, so pray the Lord to let his gospel soak into your soul.

Losses and crosses are heavy to bear; but when our hearts are right with God, it is wonderful how easy the yoke becomes.

To-morrow even may bring the final reckoning.
