The waiting itself is beneficial to us: it tries faith, exercises patience, trains submission, and endears the blessing when it comes.

Time, how short-eternity, how long! Death, how brief-immortali ty, how endless!

God is our portion, Christ our companion, the Spirit our Comforter, Earth our lodge, and Heaven is our home.

For there is some danger of falling into a soft and effeminate Christianity, under the plea of a lofty and ethereal theology.

To acknowledge you were wrong yesterday is to acknowledge you are wiser today.

The true way for a Christian to live is to live entirely upon Christ... Christians have experiences and they have feelings, but, if they are wise, they never feed upon these things, but upon Christ, Himself.

A church that does not exist to reclaim heathenism, to fight evil, to destroy error, to put down falsehood, a church that does not exist to take the side of the poor, to denounce injustice and to hold up righteousness, is a church that has no right to be. Not for yourself, O church, do you exist, any more than Christ existed for Himself.
