If we seem to get no good by attempting to draw near to Him, we may be sure we will get none by keeping away from Him.

The best advice I can give you: Look unto Jesus, beholding his beauty in the written word.

The Law was given by Moses; the moral law, to discover the extent and abounding sin; the ceremonial law, to point out, by typical sacrifices and ablutions, the way in which forgiveness was to be sought and obtained. But grace, to relieve us from the condemnation of the one, and truth answerable to the types and shadows of the other, came by Jesus Christ.

If two angels were sent down from heaven,--one to conduct an empire, and the other to sweep a street,--they would feel no inclination to change employments.

We can easily manage if we will only take, each day, the burden appointed to it. But the load will be too heavy for us if we carry yesterday's burden over again today, and then add the burden of the morrow before we are required to bear it.

Zeal without knowledge is like expedition to a man in the dark.

We serve a gracious Master who knows how to overrule even our mistakes to his glory and our own advantage.
