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
As long as we abide in Christ, our action is from Him, not from our own corrupt and broken nature.
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
Trust in God for great things. With your five loaves and two fishes He will show you a way to feed thousands.
Horace Bushnell
However dark our lot may be, there is light enough on the other side of the cloud.
Horace Bushnell
It is the grand endeavor of the gospel to communicate God to men.
Horace Bushnell
Every man's life is a plan of God.
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
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
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
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
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
It is only Christianity, the great bond of love and duty to God, that makes any existence valuable or even tolerable.
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
Christianity is not so much the advent of a better doctrine as of a perfect character.
Horace Bushnell
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
A true Christian man is distinguished from other men, not so much by his beneficent works, as by his patience.
Horace Bushnell
Guilt is the very nerve of sorrow.
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
Forgiveness is man's deepest need and highest achievement.
Horace Bushnell
