God wants us to pray, and he wants to hear our prayers-not because we are worthy, but because he is merciful.

Christianity can be summed up in the two terms faith and love...receiving from above [faith] and giving out below [love].

Let the man who would hear God speak, read Holy Scriptures.

Sin cannot tear you away from him [Christ] even though you commit adultery a hundred times a day and commit as many murders.

O, when it comes to faith, what a living, creative, active, powerful thing it is. It cannot do other than good at all times. It never waits to ask whether there is some good work to do.

God wants our conscience to be certain and sure that it is pleasing to Him. This cannot be done if the conscience is led by its own feelings, but only if it relies on the Word of God.

Believest thou? then thou wilt speak boldly. Speakest thou boldy? then thou must suffer. Sufferest thou? then thou shalt be comforted. For faith, the confession thereof, and the cross do follow one another.
