If I did not see that the Lord kept watch over the ship, I should long since have abandoned the helm. But I see Him! - through the storm, strengthening the tackling, handling the yards, spreading the sails - yes more, commanding the very winds! Should I not be a coward if I abandoned my post? Let Him govern, let Him carry us forward, let Him hasten or delay; we will fear nothing!

O, when it comes to faith, what a living, creative, active, powerful thing it is. It cannot do other than good at all times. It never waits to ask whether there is some good work to do.

Christians fight best on their knees. Whatever good may be done is done and brought about by prayer.

For where God built a church, there the Devil would also build a chapel.

All of a Christian's life is one of repentance.

The Bible is alive, it speaks to me; it has feet, it runs after me; it has hands, it lays hold of me.

Nothing good ever comes of violence.
