Whatever we have of this world in our hands, our care must be to keep it out of our hearts, lest it come between us and Christ.

The grace that saves them is the free undeserved goodness and favor of God.

God took Eve from the side of Adam, not from his foot to be his menial or slave or servant, not from his head to be his mental superior, and did take him from that which is nearest his heart, that he might love her, and that which is under his arm, that he might protect her.

May Christ be our joy, our confidence, our all. May we daily be made more like to Him, and more devoted to His service.

It is a sin against God not to pray for the Israel of God, especially for those of them that are under our charge. Good men are afraid of the guilt of omissions ( I Samuel 12).

Hope for the best, get ready for the worst, and then take what God chooses to send.

The Bible is a letter God has sent to us; prayer is a letter we send to him.
