I do not believe in an atonement which is admirably wide, but fatally ineffectual.

God will not go forth with that man who marches in his own strength

If Christ has died for me, ungodly as I am, without strength as I am, then I cannot live in sin any longer. I must arouse myself to love and serve Him who has redeemed me. I cannot trifle with the evil that killed my best Friend. I must be holy for His sake. How can I live in sin when He has died to save me from it?

It is a good rule never to look into the face of a man in the morning till you have looked into the face of God.

When the pangs shoot through our body, and ghastly death appears in view, people see the patience of the dying Christian. Our infirmities become the black velvet on which the diamond of God's love glitters all the more brightly. Thank God I can suffer ! Thank God I can be made the object of shame and contempt, for in this way God shall be glorified.

To trust God in the light is nothing, but trust him in the dark-that is faith.

The Providence of God is the great protector of our life and usefulness, and under the divine care we are perfectly safe from danger.
