They babble and talk absurdly who, in the place of God's providence, substitute bare permission - as if God sat in a watchtower awaiting chance events , and his judgments thus depended upon human will.

Christ is much more powerful to save, than Adam was to destroy.

For earthly princes lay aside their power when they rise up against God, and are unworthy to be reckoned among the number of mankind. We ought, rather, utterly to defy them.

However many blessings we expect from God, His infinite liberality will always exceed all our wishes and our thoughts.

When pain and suffering strike, our faith is well founded if it is standing on the promises of God. For all of God's promises have strong confirmation in Christ.

We shall never be clothed with the righteousness of Christ except we first know assuredly that we have no righteousness of our own.
