Defend the Bible? I'd sooner defend a lion. You don't defend the Bible; you open its cage and let it roar.

Every hour of every day, God is richly blessing us; both when we sleep and when we wake His mercy waits upon us.

It is a terribly easy matter to be a minister of the gospel and a vile hypocrite at the same time.

The more you know about Christ, the less you will be satisfied with superficial views of Him.

Lord, send Your life throughout the entire church. Visit Your church; restore sound doctrine and holy, earnest living. Take away from professing Christians their love of frivolities, their attempts to meet the world on it's own ground, and give back the old love of the doctrines of the Cross and Christ. May free grace and dying love again be the music that refreshes the church and makes her heart exceeding glad.

I have learned to kiss the waves that throw me up against the Rock of Ages.

The true way for a Christian to live is to live entirely upon Christ... Christians have experiences and they have feelings, but, if they are wise, they never feed upon these things, but upon Christ, Himself.
