Teaching Is Of More Importance Than Urging.

Anything That One Imagines Of God Apart From Christ Is Only Useless Thinking And Vain Idolatry.

Even If I Knew That Tomorrow The World Would Go To Pieces, I Would Still Plant My Apple Tree.

Where Faith Is Not Continually Kept In Motion And Exercised, It Weakens And Decreases, So That It Must Indeed Vanish; And Yet We Do Not See Nor Feel This Weakness Ourselves, Except In Times Of Need And Temptation, When Unbelief Rages Too Strongly; And Yet For That Very Reason Faith Must Have Temptations In Which It May Battle And Grow.

The Body They May Kill: God’s Truth Abideth Still, His Kingdom Is Forever.

That Little Bird Has Chosen His Shelter. Above It Are The Stars And The Deep Heaven Of Worlds. Yet He Is Rocking Himself To Sleep Without Caring For Tomorrow's Lodging, Calmly Clinging To His Little Twig, And Leaving God To Think For Him.
