God does not give us ready money. He issues promissory notes, and then pays them at the throne. Each one of us has a check-book.

It is the easiest thing in the world for us to obey God when He commands us to do what we like, and to trust Him when the path is all sunshine. The real victory of faith is to trust God in the dark, and through the dark. Let us be assured of this, that if the lesson and the rod are of His appointing, and that His all-wise love has engineered the deep tunnel of trial on the heavenward road, He will never desert us during the discipline. The vital thing for us is not to deny and desert Him.

Faith is trusting Jesus to lead us and going where He leads. What avails it to me to analyze Saratoga water, and to believe in its virtues? I must drink the water if I want its purifying power. And the soul that has not actually drunk of Christ can never be purged from sin.

Oh, be assured, fellow teachers, that there is no time in life so favorable to sound conversion as early childhood.

God always has an angel of help for those who are willing to do their duty.

Every step toward Christ kills a doubt. Every thought, word, and deed for Him carries you away from discouragement.

The firmament of the Bible is ablaze with answers to prayer.
