More quotes by 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
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
It is only Christianity, the great bond of love and duty to God, that makes any existence valuable or even tolerable.
Horace Bushnell
Image
It is not necessary for all men to be great in action. The greatest and sublimest power is often simple patience.
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
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!

Education is only second to nature.

It is the grand endeavor of the gospel to communicate God to men.
Horace Bushnell
Image
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
Image
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
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
Christianity is not so much the advent of a better doctrine as of a perfect character.
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
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
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
Jesus is the true manifestation of God, and He is manifested to be the regenerating power of a divine life.
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
Guilt is the very nerve of sorrow.
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
Forgiveness is man's deepest need and highest achievement.
