Doubtful prayer is no prayer at all.
Nothing, including human suffering, happens by chance.
Wherever we see the Word of God purely preached and heard, there a church of God exists, even if it swarms with many faults.
A man that extols himself is a fool and an idiot
We are not to look to what men in themselves deserve but to attend to the image of God which exists in all and to which we owe all honor and love.
Where God's Spirit does not reign, there is no humility, and men ever swell with inward pride.
