No man has the mind of Christ, except him who makes it his business to obey him.

Truth is truth, whether from the lips of Jesus or Balaam.

You will be dead so long as you refuse to die.

The face of the Son of God, who, instead of accepting the sacrifice of one of his creatures to satisfy his justice or support his dignity, gave himself utterly unto them, and therein to the Father by doing his lovely will; who suffered unto the death, not that men might not suffer, but that their suffering might be like his, and lead them up to his perfection.

The best preparation for the future is the present well seen to, and the last duty done.

Oh the folly of any mind that would explain God before obeying Him! That would map out the character of God instead of crying, Lord, what wouldst thou have me to do?

It is when people do wrong things wilfully that they are the more likely to do them again.
