Affliction shows the power of Christ's blood, when it gives peace in an hour of trouble, when it can make happy in sickness, poverty, persecution and death. Do not be surprised if you suffer, but glorify God.

A beam of God's countenance is enough to fill the heart of a believer to overflowing. It is enough to light up the pale cheek of a dying saint with seraphic brightness, and make the heart of the lone widow sing for joy.

The greatest need of my people is my own holiness.

The Christian is a person who makes it easy for others to believe in God.

Do not fear the face of man. Remember how small their anger will appear in eternity.

I ought to spend the best hours of the day in communion with God. It is my noblest and most fruitful employment, and is not to be thrust into any corner.

It is not our comment on the Word that saves, but the Word itself.
