The backbone of the preaching of Christ is a conviction of the truth of Christ.

God has given no pledge which He will not redeem, and encouraged no hope which He will not fulfill.

If Christ were only a cistern we might soon exhaust his fullness but who can drain a fountain?

Nothing is improved by anger, unless it be the arch of a cat's back. A man with his back up is spoiling his figure. People look none the handsomer for being red in the face. It takes a great deal out of a man to get into a towering rage; it is almost as unhealthy as having a fit. . . . Whatever wrong I suffer, it can not do me half so much hurt as being angry about it.

To-morrow even may bring the final reckoning.

Out of every difficulty Omnipotence can bring us, only let us in childlike confidence cast our burden upon the Lord.

What if I say that it is not unjust but according to law that when a woman gets into debt her husband should bear it? And with the church of God sinning, it was but right that her Husband, who had espoused her unto Himself, should become the debtor on her behalf. The Lord Jesus stood in the relationship of a married Husband unto His church, and it was not, therefore, a strange thing that He should bear her burdens.
