In prosperity God is heard, and that is a blessing; but in adversity God is seen, and that is a greater blessing.

No matter how good you think yourself to be, you cannot enter heaven unless it is under the terms of sovereign grace.

It is not great talents God blesses so much as likeness to Jesus.
