When God gives a promise, He always tries our faith. Just as the roots of trees take firmer hold when they are contending with the wind, so faith takes a firmer hold when it struggles with adverse appearances.

When you are reading a book in a dark room, and come to a difficult part, you take it to a window to get more light. So take your Bibles to Christ.

The seed of every sin known to man is in my heart.

I tell you, brethren, if mercies and if judgments do not convert you, God has no other arrows in His quiver.

Rose early to seek God and found Him whom my soul loveth. Who would not rise early to meet such company?

You will never find Jesus so precious as when the world is one vast howling wilderness. Then he is like a rose blooming in the midst of the desolation, a rock rising above the storm.

Joy is increased by spreading it to others.
