The authority of Scripture is greater than the comprehension of the whole of man's reason.

It is a tremendously hard thing to pray aright, yea, it is verily the science of all sciences.

World, death, devil, hell, away and leave me in peace! You have no hold on me. If you will not let me live, then I will die. But you won't succeed in that. Chop my head off, and it won't harm me. I have a God who will give me a new one.

God's love gives in such a way that it flows from a Father's heart, the well-spring of all good. The heart of the giver makes the gift dear and precious; as among ourselves we say of even a trifling gift, "It comes from a hand we love," and look not so much at the gift as at the heart.

We find no rest for our weary bones unless we cling to the word of grace.
