Rest in the Lord; wait patiently for Him. In Hebrew, "Be silent in God, and let Him mould thee." Keep still, and He will mould thee to the right shape.

If we Christians would join the Wise Men, we must close our eyes to all that glitters before the world and look rather on the despised and foolish things, help the poor, comfort the despised, and aid the neighbor in his need.

Faith is permitting ourselves to be seized by the things that we do not see.

There is no justification without sanctification, no forgiveness without renewal of life, no real faith from which the fruits of new obedience do not grow.

The soul can do without everything except the word of God, without which none at all of its wants are provided for.

If you want to interpret well and confidently, set Christ before you, for He is the man to whom it all applies, every bit of it.

To preach Christ is to feed the soul, to justify it, to set it free, and to save it, if it believes the preaching.
