If we are given gold, would we not test it to determine it's value? If we doubted its genuineness - we would test it by fire...and so God with us.

Let our chief goal, O God, be your glory, and to enjoy You forever.

To will is human, to will the bad is of fallen nature, but to will the good is of Grace.

Whoever the Lord has adopted ought to prepare themselves for hard, toilsome and unquiet living.

At this day . . . the earth sustains on her bosom many monster minds, minds which are not afraid to employ the seed of Deity deposited in human nature as a means of suppressing the name of God. Can anything be more detestable than this madness in man, who, finding God a hundred times both in his body and his soul, makes his excellence in this respect a pretext for denying that there is a God? He will not say that chance has made him different from the brutes; . . . but, substituting Nature as the architect of the universe, he suppresses the name of God.
