Bible study is the metal that forges a Christian.

I am not superstitious, but the first time I saw this medal, bearing the venerated likeness of John Calvin, I kissed it, imagining that no one saw the action. I was very greatly surprised when I received this magnificent present, which shall be passed round for your inspection. On the one side is John Calvin with his visage worn by disease and deep thought, and on the other side is a verse fully applicable to him: 'He endured, as seeing Him who is invisible.'

I have noticed that whenever a person gives up his belief in the Word of God because it requires that he should believe a good deal, his unbelief requires him to believe a great deal more. If there be any difficulties in the faith of Christ, they are not one-tenth as great as the absurdities in any system of unbelief which seeks to take its place.

We cannot play at preaching. We preach for eternity.

Out of every difficulty Omnipotence can bring us, only let us in childlike confidence cast our burden upon the Lord.

He makes those just who are unjust, forgives those who deserve to be punished, and favors those who deserve no favor.

Our joy ends where love of the world begins.
