It is wonderful how God works by our hands, and yet His own hand does it all.

If He had not known with certainty that He would be Master over sin and that out of evil would evolve the noblest display of His own glory, He would not have permitted it to enter the world.

Inconsistent professing Christians injure the Gospel more than the sneering critic or the heretic.

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.

Now and then there comes a crash of thunder in a storm, and we look up with amazement when he sets the heavens on a blaze with his lightning.

Thus there will be three effects of nearness to Jesus humility, happiness, and holiness.

In 40 years I have not spent 15 minutes without thinking of Jesus.
