More quotes by Horace Bushnell
To understand a philosopher requires a philosopher.
Horace Bushnell
However dark our lot may be, there is light enough on the other side of the cloud.
Horace Bushnell
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
Persecution has not crushed it, power has not beaten it back, time has not abated its force, and, what is most wonderful of all, the abuses and treasons of its friends have not shaken its stability.
Horace Bushnell
Live as with God and, whatever be your calling, pray for the gift that will perfectly qualify you in it.
Horace Bushnell
The more difficulties one has to encounter, within and without, the more significant and the higher in inspiration his life will be.
Horace Bushnell
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
Morality, taken as apart from religion, is but another name for decency in sin. It is just that negative species of virtue which consists in not doing what is scandalously depraved and wicked. But there is no heart of holy principle in it, any more than there is in the grosser sin.
Horace Bushnell
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
A true Christian man is distinguished from other men, not so much by his beneficent works, as by his patience.
Horace Bushnell
It doth not yet appear what we shall be. We lie here in our nest, unfledged and weak, guessing dimly at our future, and scarce believing what even now appears. But the power is in us, and that power is finally to be revealed. And what a revelation will that be!
Horace Bushnell
Forgiveness is man's deepest need and highest achievement.
Horace Bushnell
As long as we abide in Christ, our action is from Him, not from our own corrupt and broken nature.
Horace Bushnell
We come, in our trust, unto God, and the moment we so embrace Him, by committing our total being and eternity to Him, we find every thing is transformed. There is life in us from God a kind of Christ-consciousness is opened in us, testifying with the apostle,--Christ liveth in me.
Horace Bushnell
Guilt is the very nerve of sorrow.
Horace Bushnell
It is not necessary for all men to be great in action. The greatest and sublimest power is often simple patience.
Horace Bushnell
Every man's life is a plan of God.
Horace Bushnell
Be sure that Christ is not behind you, but before, calling and drawing you on. This is the liberty, the beautiful liberty of Christ. Claim your glorious privilege in the name of a disciple be no more a servant, when Christ will own you as a friend.
Horace Bushnell
It is the grandeur of Christ's character which constitutes the chief power of His ministry, not His miracles or teachings apart from His character. The greatest triumph of the Gospel is Christ Himself--a human body become the organ of the Divine nature, and revealing, under the conditions of an earthly life, the glory of God.
Horace Bushnell
Morality, taken as apart from religion, is but another name for decency of sin.
