Grace is the good pleasure of God that inclines him to bestow benefits on the undeserving.

Image
Peace of heart that is won by refusing to bear the common yoke of human sympathy is a peace unworthy of a Christian. To seek tranquility by stopping our ears to the cries of human pain is to make ourselves not Christian but a kind of degenerate stoic having no relation either to stoicism or Christianity.

Time is a resource that is non-renewable and non-transferable. You cannot store it, slow it up, hold it up, divide it up or give it up. You can’t hoard it up or save it for a rainy day—when it’s lost it is unrecoverable. When you kill time, remember that it has no resurrection.

The Christian woman should remember that she cannot buy true attractiveness that radiance which really shines forth in beauty is of the heart and spirit and not of the body.

Image
Such words as amen, hallelujah, glory and others of like sacred association are repeated endlessly and meaninglessly in the apparent belief that they have in them some strange power for good. This can be no more than high-grade magic. It will pay us to search our own hearts thoroughly to discover just why we use these words.

Next to the Holy Scriptures, the greatest aide to the life of faith may be Christian biographies.

Image
We can afford to follow Him to failure. Faith dares to fail. The resurrection and the judgment will demonstrate before all worlds who won and who lost. We can wait.

We understand and acknowledge that the Resurrection has placed a glorious crown upon all of Christ's sufferings!
