Grace puts its hand on the boasting mouth, and shuts it once for all.

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.

A prayer less soul is a Christ less soul.

The highest honor that God can confer upon his children is the blood-red crown of martyrdom. The jewels of a Christian are his afflictions. The regalia of the kings that God has made, are their troubles, their sorrows, and their griefs. Griefs exalt us, and troubles lift us.

The egg is white though the hen is black as coal...Out of evil comes good, through the great goodness of God.

God has so made man's heart that nothing can ever fill it but God himself.

A Jesus who never wept could never wipe away my tears.
