Peace comes not from the absence of trouble, but from the presence of God.

We must have Christ in our hearts, that He may shine forth from our lives.

Faith refers to Christ. Holiness depends on faith. Heaven depends on holiness.

The cup which my Saviour giveth me, can it be anything but a cup of salvation?

He who has the Holy Spirit in His heart and the Scripture in his hands has all he needs.

Love Christ, and then the eternity in the heart will not be a great aching void, but will be filled with the everlasting life which Christ gives and is.

The more we work the more we need to pray. In this day of activity there is great danger, not of doing too much, but of praying too little for so much work.
