To be cast down is often the best thing that can happen to us.
The Christian should work as if all depended upon him, and pray as if it all depended upon God.
You are saved - seek to be like your Savior.
Sin is sovereign till sovereign grace dethrones it.
You have no time for the prayer meeting, but you have time enough to be brushing your hair to all eternity; you have no time to bend your knee, but plenty of time to make yourselves look smart and grand.
Jesus has borne the death penalty on our behalf. Behold the wonder! There He hang upon the cross!
