More quotes by 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
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
Trust in God for great things. With your five loaves and two fishes He will show you a way to feed thousands.
Horace Bushnell
O, if we could tear aside the vail, and see for but one hour what it signifies to be a soul in the power of an endless life, what a revelation would it be!
Horace Bushnell
Jesus is the true manifestation of God, and He is manifested to be the regenerating power of a divine life.
Horace Bushnell
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
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
Forgiveness is man's deepest need and highest achievement.
Horace Bushnell
By His trials, God means to purify us, to take away all our self-confidence, and our trust in each other, and bring us into implicit, humble trust in Himself.
Horace Bushnell
It is the grand endeavor of the gospel to communicate God to men.
Horace Bushnell
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
To understand a philosopher requires a philosopher.
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
A true Christian man is distinguished from other men, not so much by his beneficent works, as by his patience.
Horace Bushnell
Live as with God and, whatever be your calling, pray for the gift that will perfectly qualify you in it.
Horace Bushnell
Morality, taken as apart from religion, is but another name for decency of sin.
Horace Bushnell
We are to work after no set fashion of high endeavor but to walk with Jesus, performing, as it were, a ministry on foot, that we may stop at the humblest matter, and prove our fidelity there.
Horace Bushnell
As long as we abide in Christ, our action is from Him, not from our own corrupt and broken nature.
Horace Bushnell
Take your burdens, and troubles, and losses, and wrongs, if come they must and will, as your opportunities, knowing that God has girded you for greater things than these.
Horace Bushnell
The more difficulties one has to encounter, within and without, the more significant and the higher in inspiration his life will be.
