The Bible in the memory is better than the Bible in the book case.

God is too good to be unkind, too wise to be mistaken; and when you cannot trace His hand, you can trust His heart.

Want of will causes paralysis of every faculty. In spiritual things man is utterly unable because resolvedly unwilling.

If any of you should ask me for an epitome of the Christian religion, I should say that it is in one word - prayer. Live and die without prayer, and you will pray long enough when you get to hell.

Is it not a sad thing that after all Christ's love to us, we should repay it with lukewarm love to Him?

I need not ask whether I may call on Him or not, for that word 'Whosoever' is a very wide and comprehensive one...My case is urgent, and I do not see how I am to be delivered; but this is no business of mine. He who makes the promise will find ways and means of keeping it. It is mine to obey His commands; it is not mine to direct His counsels. I am His servant, not His solicitor. I call upon Him, and He will deliver.

Great hearts can only be made by great troubles. Great faith must have great trials.
