An over-readiness to criticise or to depreciate a minister of Christ is proof of a lack of devotion to Christ.
Henry Clay TrumbullA love of reading is an acquired taste, not an instinctive preference. The habit of reading is formed in childhood; and a child's taste in reading is formed in the right direction or in the wrong one while he is under the influence of his parents; and they are directly responsible for the shaping and cultivating of that taste.
Henry Clay TrumbullNot prayer without faith, nor faith without prayer, but prayer in faith, is the cost of spiritual gifts and graces.
