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

Image
Forgiveness is man's deepest need and highest achievement.
Horace Bushnell

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
Morality, taken as apart from religion, is but another name for decency of sin.
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
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.

To understand a philosopher requires a philosopher.
Horace Bushnell
Image
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.

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.
