Quote

Sin is a thing of time, but mercy is from everlasting. Transgression is but of yesterday, but mercy was ever of old. Before you and I sought the Lord, the Lord sought us.

This depression comes over me whenever the Lord is preparing a larger blessing for my ministry the cloud is black before it breaks, and overshadows before it yields its deluge of mercy. Depression has now become to me as a prophet in rough clothing, a John the Baptist, heralding the nearer coming of my Lord's richer benison

There is not land beneath the sun where there is an open Bible and a preached gospel, where a tyrant long can hold his place...

The more a church flourishes, the more, I believe, do hypocrites get in, just as you see many a noxious creeping thing come and get in a garden after a shower of rain. The very things that make glad the flowers bring out these noxious things. And so hypocrites get in and steal much of the church's sap away.

The gospel which they so greatly needed they would not have the miracles which Jesus did not always choose to give, they eagerly demanded.

Be not proud of race, face, place, or grace.
