This Is Faith: A Renouncing Of Everything We Are Apt To Call Our Own And Relying Wholly Upon The Blood, Righteousness And Intercession Of Jesus.

Christ Has Taken Our Nature Into Heaven To Represent Us; And Has Left Us On Earth, With His Nature, To Represent Him.

I Look Upon Prayer-meetings As The Most Profitable Exercises (excepting The Public Preaching) In Which Christians Can Engage. They Have A Direct Tendency To Kill A Worldly, Trifling Spirit, And To Draw Down A Divine Blessing Upon All Our Concerns, Compose Differences, And Enkindle (at Least Maintain) The Flames Of Divine Love Amongst Brethren.

If Two Angels Were To Receive At The Same Moment A Commission From God, One To Go Down And Rule Earth’s Grandest Empire, The Other To Go And Sweep The Streets Of Its Meanest Village, It Would Be A Matter Of Entire Indifference To Each Which Service Fell To His Lot, The Post Of Ruler Or The Post Of Scavenger; For The Joy Of The Angels Lies Only In Obedience To God’s Will, And With Equal Joy They Would Lift A Lazarus In His Rags To Abraham’s Bosom, Or Be A Chariot Of Fire To Carry An Elijah Home.

Every Drop Of Rain Hits Its Appointed Target.
