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

Thou art coming to a King, large petitions with thee bring, for His grace and power are such none can ever ask too much.

A minister full of comforts & free from failings as an angel, though he would be happy, wouldn't be a good or useful preacher

There is many a thing which the world calls disappointment; but there is no such thing in the dictionary of faith. What to others are disappointments are to believers intimations of the will of God.

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.

Let me endeavor to lead you out of yourself: let me invite you to look unto Jesus.

I look upon prayer-meetings as the most profitable exercises (excepting the public preaching) in which Christians can engage. They have a direct tendency to kill a worldly, trifling spirit, and to draw down a Divine blessing upon all our concerns, compose differences, and enkindle (at least maintain) the flames of Divine love amongst brethren.
