Temptation is like a knife, that may either cut the meat or the throat of a man; it may be his food or his poison, his exercise or his destruction

We are never nearer Christ than when we find ourselves lost in a holy amazement at His unspeakable love.

God never intended for us to be left to pray on our own. God never changes His purpose, but He often does purpose a change.

What do we want? What would we be at? What do our souls desire? Is it not that we might have a more full, clear, stable comprehension of the wisdom, love, grace, goodness, holiness, righteousness, and power of God, as declared and exalted in Christ unto our redemption and eternal salvation?
