When we ask of the Lord coolly, and not fervently, we do as it were, stop His hand, and restrain Him from giving us the very blessing we "pretend" that we are seeking.

It is not the strength of your faith that saves you, but the strength of Him upon whom you rely! Christ is able to save you if you come to Him-be your faith weak or be it strong.

We are in a wrong state of mind if we are not in a thankful state of mind.

There will be no doubt about His having chosen you when you have chosen Him.

To me the Bible is not God, but it is God's voice, and I do not hear it without awe

Nothing will so enlarge the intellect, nothing so magnify the whole soul of man, as a devout, earnest, continued, investigation of the great subject of the Deity. The most excellent study for expanding the soul is the science of Christ and Him crucified and the knowledge of the Godhead in the glorious Trinity.

If it were Christ's intention to save all men, how deplorably He has been disappointed!
