This is faith, receiving the truth of Christ; first knowing it to be true, and then acting upon that belief.

When men's hearts are melted under the preaching of the word, or by sickness, or the loss of friends, believers should be very eager to stamp the truth upon the prepared mind. Such opportunities are to be seized with holy eagerness.

A religion that cannot stand a little laughter must be a very rotten one.

I saw a young sister, just before this service; and I said to her, "When did you find the Lord?" She replied, "It was when I was very ill." Yes, it is often so; God makes us ill in body that we may have time to think of Him, and turn to Him....What would become of some people if they were always in good health, or if they were always prospering? But tribulation is the black dog that goes after the stray sheep, and barks them back to the Good Shepherd. I thank God that there are such things as the visitations of correction and of holy discipline, to preserve our spirit, and bring us to Christ.

Nearness to God brings likeness to God. The more you see God the more of God will be seen in you.

We hold that man is never so near grace as when he begins to feel he can do nothing at all.

An ounce of heart knowledge is worth a ton of head learning.
