Take away the cross of Christ, and the Bible is a dark book.

Without the blessing of the Lord, your best endeavors will do no good. He has the hearts of all men in His hands, and except He touch the hearts of your children by His Spirit, you will weary yourself to no purpose. Water, therefore, the seed you sow on their minds with unceasing prayer.

Live as if you thought that Christ might come at any time.

However corrupt our hearts, and however wicked our past lives, there is hope for us in the Gospel.

A deep sense of sin, a humble willingness to be saved in God's way, a teachable readiness to give up our own prejudices when a more excellent way is shown, these are the principal things. These things the two disciples possessed, and therefore our Lord "went with them" and guided them into all truth.

Until we give God our heart, we give Him nothing at all.

Why is a believer patient? Because he looks for the coming of the Lord...He waits quietly for the King.
