May we sit at the foot of the cross and there learn what sin has done,what justice has done, and what love has done.
While God supports, upholds and governs all things. He is attentive to all the cares, needs and feelings of the weakest of His people.
There is not a drop of rain which falls, which is not directed by God. There is not a particle of dust carried along by the wind, which is not carried the very place which God has appointed.
Sin is the root and spring of all misery!
I am persuaded that love and humility are the highest attainments in the school of Christ and the brightest evidences that He is indeed our Master!
My grand point in preaching, is to break the hard heart and to heal the broken one!
All shall work together for good. Everything is needful, that He sends. Nothing can be needful, that He withholds.
For the most part, the Lord's children are a poor and afflicted people. The Lord chooses poverty as the safest state for them in this ensnaring world.
Blessed are we, when we can clearly see that every event and circumstance of our lives, is under the immediate direction and appointment of Him who cares for us, and who has engaged that all things shall, notwithstanding all our doubts and misgivings, work together for our good.
We know not how to properly appreciate any one blessing until we are deprived of it.
The whole of our profession may be comprised in looking unto Jesus to take our eyes off from other objects, especially from ourselves, and to fix them upon Him!
I believe that the leading points of Arminianism spring from, and are nourished by, the pride of the human heart!
