How fast we learn in the day of sorrow! Scripture shines out in a new effulgence every verse seems to contain a sunbeam, every promise stands out in illuminated splendor things hard to be understood become in a moment plain.

More quotes by Horatius Bonar
Upon a life I did not live, upon a death I did not die another's life, another's death, I stake my whole eternity.
Horatius Bonar
Less, less of self each day, And more, my God, of Thee!
Horatius Bonar
The more fully that the gospel is preached, in the grand old apostolic way, the more likely is it to accomplish the results which it did in the apostolic days.
Horatius Bonar
Think truly, and thy thoughts shall the world's famine feed.
Horatius Bonar
I praise the God of grace I trust His truth and might He calls me His, I call Him mine. My God, my joy and light
Horatius Bonar
In order to grow in grace, we must be much alone. It is not in society that the soul grows most vigorously. In one single quiet hour of prayer it will often make more progress than in days of company with others. It is in the desert that the dew falls freshest and the air its purest.
Horatius Bonar
Christian, your whole life is to be one continuous following of the Lord.
Horatius Bonar
A believing man will be a zealous man. Faith makes a man zealous. Faith shows itself by zeal. Not by zeal for a party or a system or an opinion but by zeal for Christ - zeal for His church - zeal for the carrying on of His work on earth.
Horatius Bonar
Uncertainty as to our relationship to God is one of the most enfeebling and dispiriting of things. It makes a man heartless. It takes the pith out of him. He cannot fight he cannot run. He is easily dismayed, and gives way. He can do nothing for God.
Horatius Bonar
Beyond the smiling and the weeping, I shall be soon Beyond the waking and the sleeping, Beyond the sowing and the reaping, I shall be soon! Love, rest, and home-- Sweet hope! Lord, tarry not, but come!
Horatius Bonar
I looked for the church and I found it in the world I looked for the world and I found it in the church.
Horatius Bonar
It is easier to speak about revival than to set about it.
Horatius Bonar
Do not heed the jar of man's warring opinions. Let God be true and every man a liar. The Bible is the Bible still. If any man lack wisdom, let him ask of God. You have an unction from the Holy One, and you know all things.
Horatius Bonar
All unbelief is the belief of a lie.
Horatius Bonar
Faith is the acknowledgment of the entire absence of all goodness in us, and the recognition of the cross as the substitute for all the want on our part. Faith saves, because it owns the complete salvation of another, and not because it contributes anything to that salvation.
Horatius Bonar
In religion faith does not spring out of feeling, but feeling out of faith. The less we feel the more we should trust. We cannot feel right till we have believed.
Horatius Bonar
Think truly, and thy thoughts shall the world's famine feed. Speak truly, and each word of thine Shall be a fruitful seed. Live truly, and thy life shall be A great and noble creed.
Horatius Bonar
Sow truth, if thou the truth wouldst reap: Who sows the false shall reap the vain.
Horatius Bonar
A ministry of power must be the fruit of a holy, peaceful, loving intimacy with the Lord.
Horatius Bonar
It is not opinions that man needs: it is TRUTH. It is not theology it is God. It is not religion: it is Christ. It is not literature and science but the knowledge of the free love of God in the gift of His only-begotten Son.
