Day by day, we are becoming what we shall be eternally. The spirit who convicts us is also the spirit who consoles.

You and your sins must separate or you and your God will never come together. No one sin may keep you; they must all be given up, they must be brought out like Canaanite kings from the cave and be hanged up in the sun.

I saw a young sister, just before this service; and I said to her, "When did you find the Lord?" She replied, "It was when I was very ill." Yes, it is often so; God makes us ill in body that we may have time to think of Him, and turn to Him....What would become of some people if they were always in good health, or if they were always prospering? But tribulation is the black dog that goes after the stray sheep, and barks them back to the Good Shepherd. I thank God that there are such things as the visitations of correction and of holy discipline, to preserve our spirit, and bring us to Christ.

After faith comes repentance, or, rather, repentance is faith's twin brother and is born at the same time.

The Book of Psalms instructs us in the use of wings as well as words. It sets us both mounting and singing.

You never have to drag mercy out of Christ, as money from a miser.

The repetition of small efforts will accomplish more than the occasional use of great talents.
