None can know their election but by their conformity to the image of Christ; for all that are chosen are chosen to sanctification.

It is more to the honor of a Christian by faith to overcome the world, than by monastical vows to retreat from it; more for the honor of Christ to serve him in the city, than to serve him in the cell.

God has wisely kept us in the dark concerning future events and reserved for himself the knowledge of them, that he may train us up in a dependence upon himself and a continued readiness for every event.

Those who deceive others, deceive themselves, as they will find at last, to their cost.

God is either your worst enemy or your best friend.

It was the greatest honor God did to man that he made man in the image of God; but it is the greatest dishonor man has done to God that he has made God in the image of man.
