It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy, that makes happiness.

The business of the believer with his Bible open is to pray, 'Lord, give me the meaning and spirit of your word, while it lies open before me; apply your word with power to my soul, threatening or promise, doctrine or precept, whatever it may be; lead me into the soul and marrow of your word.'

I do not believe that any man can preach the gospel who does not preach the Law.
