I believe that one reason why the church of God at this present moment has so little influence over the world is because the world has so much influence over the church.

It is folly to think the Lord provides grace for every trouble but the one you are in today.

Do not despair, dear heart, but come to the Lord with all your jagged wounds, black bruises, and running sores. He alone can heal, and He delights to do it. It is our Lord's office to bind up the brokenhearted, and He is gloriously at home at it.

Do not go on His errands till first you have sat at His feet.

God is our portion, Christ our companion, the Spirit our Comforter, Earth our lodge, and Heaven is our home.

It is not humility to underrate yourself. Humility is to think of yourself as God thinks of you. It is to feel that if we have talents God has given them to us. And let it be seen that, like freight in a vessel, they tend to sink us low. The more we have, the lower we ought to lie.

Jesus has borne the death penalty on our behalf. Behold the wonder! There He hang upon the cross!
