What would it matter if, for the sake of the Christian Church, one were to tell a big lie?

We need not invite the Devil to our table; he is too ready to come without being asked. The air all about us is filled with demons.

Be a sinner and sin boldly, but believe and rejoice in Christ even more boldly.

We are not yet what we shall be, but we are growing toward it, the process is not yet finished.

Good works are the seals and proofs of faith; for even as a letter must have a seal to strengthen the same, even so faith must have good works.

There is on earth among all dangers, no more dangerous thing than a richly endowed and adroid reason, especially if she enters into spiritual matters which concern the soul and God. For it is more possible to teach an ass to read than to blind such a reason and lead it right; for reason must be deluded, blinded, and destroyed.

Faith is a living, daring confidence in God's grace, so sure and certain that a man would stake his life on it one thousand times. This confidence in God's grace and knowledge of it makes men glad and bold and happy in dealing with God and with all creatures; and this is the work of the Holy Ghost in faith.
