God incarnate is the end of fear; and the heart that realizes that, realizes that he is in the midst, that takes heed to the assurance of his loving presence, will be quiet in the midst of alarm.

Purity of heart means the control of the imagination and the rigorous care of the affections.

The spirit of the gospel is in absolute disagreement with the spirit of the world.

How often God takes away our consolations, that we may only love Him for Himself; and reveals our sinfulness, that we may better appreciate the completeness of his salvation!

Go on day by day fulfilling the task of the day, and leaving the results with God.

Temptation may even be a blessing to a man when it reveals to him his weakness and drives him to the almighty Savior. Do not be surprised, then, dear child of God, if you are tempted at every step of your earthly journey, and almost beyond endurance; but you will not be tempted beyond what you are able to bear, and with every temptation there will be a way of escape.

If I had my ministry over again, I would devote far more time to the ministry of comfort and encouragement.
