Faith upholds a Christian under all trials, by assuring him that every painful dispensation is under the direction of his Lord.

I am still in the land of the dying; I shall be in the land of the living soon. (his last words)

The Christian must know that the season, measure, and continuance of his sufferings are appointed by Infinite Wisdom, and designed to work for his everlasting good; and that grace and strength shall be afforded him according to his need.

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

If the Lord be with us, we have no cause of fear. His eye is upon us, His arm over us, His ear open to our prayer - His grace sufficient, His promise unchangeable.

Though troubles assail And dangers affright, Though friends should all fail And foes all unite; Yet one thing secures us, Whatever betide, The scripture assures us, The Lord will provide.

If we venture beyond the pale of Scripture, we are...exposed to all the illusions of imagination and enthusiasm.
