What They Said

"The habit of laying up a text of Scripture in the morning, to be meditated upon while engaged in the business of this world through the day, is both profitable and delightful. It is as a refreshing draught to a weary traveler.”

"The love of Christ is unending"; it is not a passion of His humanity--but a perfection of His divinity. He has always existed--and He has always loved His people."

"Thanksgiving is never out of season, for we have always much to be thankful for. In everything we should give thanks, to that end view all things as arranged by His wisdom, dependant on His will, sanctified by His blessing, according with His promises, and flowing from His love."

"The providence that supplies us, is the wisdom, benevolence, and power of God in operation for us; as expressive of His infinite love and unmerited grace."

"We should be zealous for the Lord's cause. He has a cause upon the earth. It is the cause of holiness and truth. It is distinct from the world, but is intended to be a blessing to the world. It is called his Church. The Church in which he dwells, by which he works, through which he communicates his blessings."

"The union between Christ and His people is represented by Himself by the figure of a vine and its branches; teaching us that our union with Him is as real, as close, and as necessary as the union of the branch with its parent stem."

"The world is one vast hospital. Jesus is the only physician in it; he has healed thousands, he will heal thousands more; but multitudes reject him, they fancy they can do without him; they think that they are whole, and therefore do not need a physician."

“The well taught Christian carries everything to God; and in doing so, obtains relief, enjoys peace, and grows in grace. For all we need we should call upon God; and from all we fear we should flee unto God.”

“All our supplies come from God, therefore our dependence should be on Him, and our expectations from Him.”

“Jesus loves always. His love is like his life, endless. Whom once he loveth, he loveth unto the end; for he is "Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, to-day, and forever." He may change his works; he may change his dispensations; but he will never break his word, or change in his love. That love is from everlasting to everlasting. It was sovereignly fixed upon us, and can never be diverted from us. So that amidst all the changes that take place within me, and without me, I may rejoice in this, that Jesus still loves me. Aye, and that he loves me as much in adversity as in prosperity; as much in darkness as when his candle shines upon my head; as much when I feel as if I am sinking in the horrible pit, as when I feel that I am standing on the rock. As soon may he cease to be God, as cease to love his people. While he lives he must love, and love the same objects too.”

“O how little do many of us know of Christ, and therefore it is that we make so little use of Christ, receive so little from Christ, and do so little for Christ!  Our sense of our need of Christ, it it be deep and increasing, will lead us to seek to know more of Christ; and knowing more of Christ, we shall daily come to Christ for all our supplies.”

“God is pleased or displeased with every thought we think, with every word we speak, with every action we perform, and with every emotion we feel. Perhaps we do not sufficiently realize this. We think, speak, feel, and act, without ever considering whether we are pleasing God, or no. But this ought not to be, for He gave us our being, redeemed us from death, called us by His grace, and has blessed us with innumerable and interminable blessings, and all that we may glorify Him.”

“The Lord is the great Physician. He is especially the healer of the soul.”
