Let all the 'free-will' in the world do all it can with all its strength; it will never give rise to a single instance of ability to avoid being hardened if God does not give the Spirit, or of meriting mercy if it is left to its own strength.

It is false that the will, left to itself, can do good as well as evil, for it is not free, but in bondage...On the side of man there is nothing that goes before grace, unless it be impotency and even rebellion.

Anyone who is to find Christ must first find the church. How could anyone know where Christ is and what faith is in him unless he knew where his believers are?

The whole being of any Christian is faith and love. Faith brings the person to God, love brings the person to people.

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

When schools flourish, all flourishes.

If I should neglect prayer but a single day, I should lose a great deal of the fire of faith.
