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
Jesus is the true manifestation of God, and He is manifested to be the regenerating power of a divine life.
Horace Bushnell

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
Forgiveness is man's deepest need and highest achievement.
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
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
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
It is not necessary for all men to be great in action. The greatest and sublimest power is often simple patience.
