Image
Every man's life is a plan of God.
Horace Bushnell
Image
Jesus is the true manifestation of God, and He is manifested to be the regenerating power of a divine life.
Horace Bushnell
Image
Christ is known only by them that receive Him into their love, their faith, their deep want known only as He is enshrined within, felt as a Divine force, breathed in the inspirations of the secret life.
Horace Bushnell
Image
Christ does not dress up a moral picture, and ask you to observe its beauty. He only tells you how to live and the most beautiful characters the world has ever seen, have been those who received and lived these precepts without once conceiving their beauty.
Horace Bushnell
Image
The more difficulties one has to encounter, within and without, the more significant and the higher in inspiration his life will be.
Horace Bushnell
Image
God listens for nothing so tenderly, as when His children help each other by their testimonies to His goodness and the way in which He has brought them deliverance.
Horace Bushnell
Image
Education is only second to nature.
Horace Bushnell
Image
A true Christian man is distinguished from other men, not so much by his beneficent works, as by his patience.
Horace Bushnell
Image
Christianity is no mere scheme of doctrine or of ethical practice, but is instead a kind of miracle, a power out of nature and above, descending into it a historically supernatural movement on the world, that is visibly entered into it, and organized to be an institution in the person of Jesus Christ.
Horace Bushnell
Image
Christ's sacrifice stands in glorious proportions with the work to be done. Nothing else or less would suffice. It is a work supernatural, transacted in the plane of nature and what but such a work could restore the broken order of the soul under evil?
Horace Bushnell
Image
Christ commands you to take up His cross and follow Him, not that He may humble you, or lay some penance upon you, but that you may surrender the low self-will and the feeble pride of your sin, and ascend into the sublime patience of heavenly charity.
Horace Bushnell
Image
As long as we abide in Christ, our action is from Him, not from our own corrupt and broken nature.
Horace Bushnell
Image
Not all the winds, and storms, and earthquakes, and seas, and seasons of the world, have done so much to revolutionize the earth as Man, the power of an endless life, has done since the day he came forth upon it, and received dominion over it.
Horace Bushnell
Image
Be an observer of providence for God is showing you ever, by the way in which He leads you, whither He means to lead. Study your trials, your talents, the world's wants, and stand ready to serve God now, in whatever He brings to your hand.
Horace Bushnell
Image
Christianity is not so much the advent of a better doctrine as of a perfect character.
Horace Bushnell
Image
The resurrection morning is a true sun-rising, the inbursting of a cloudless sky on all the righteous dead. They wake transfigured, at their Maker's call, with the fashion of their countenance altered and shining like His own.
Horace Bushnell
Image
Live as with God and, whatever be your calling, pray for the gift that will perfectly qualify you in it.
Horace Bushnell
Image
To understand a philosopher requires a philosopher.
Horace Bushnell
Image
Habits are to the soul what the veins and arteries are to the blood, the courses in which it moves
Horace Bushnell
Image
Forgiveness is man's deepest need and highest achievement.
