In the sacred fact of obligation you touch the immutable, and lay hold, as it were, on the eternities. At the very center of your being, there is a fixed element, and that of a kind or degree essentially sovereign. A standard is set up in your very thought, by which a great part of your questions are determined, and about which your otherwise random thoughts may settle into order and law.
Horace BushnellNothing is necessary for you in maintaining a Christian life, but just to stay by the helm, and put yourself where the power is. Come unto God, unite yourself to God, and the doing power you have is infinite.
Horace BushnellLive as with God; and, whatever be your calling, pray for the gift that will perfectly qualify you in it.
Horace BushnellHabits are to the soul what the veins and arteries are to the blood, the courses in which it moves
