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

Although the Christian is thus free from all works, he ought in this liberty to empty himself, take upon himself the form of a servant, be made in the likeness of men, be found in human form, and to serve, help and in every way deal with his neighbor as he sees that God through Christ has dealt and still deals with him.

The Bible is the book that makes fools of the wise of this world; it is only understood by the plain and simple hearted.

To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing.

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!

If ever the church is to flourish again, one must begin by instructing the young.

To pray diligently is more than half the task.
