The man who is deeply discontented with himself is probably growing fast into the full likeness of Christ.

Persecution is the heirloom of the church, and the ensign of the elect.

As sure as God puts His children in the furnace of affliction, He will be with them in it.

We have often asserted, and we affirm it yet again, that no fact in history is better attested than the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. It must not be denied, by any who are willing to pay the slightest respect to the testimony of their fellow-men, that Jesus, who died upon the cross, and was buried in the tomb of Joseph of Arimathea, did literally rise again from the dead.

The fact of resurrection is not extraordinary; it is in accord with what we who believe at all believe to be the uniform law of life--that death does not touch it. The witnesses to the resurrection of Christ were unprejudiced, unexpectant, incredulous, and their honesty is not doubted even by skeptical criticism.

Christian, beware of thinking lightly of sin. Take heed in case you fall little by little.
