The Christian must trust in a withdrawing God.

Of all creatures in this visible world, light is the most glorious; of all light, the light of the sun without compare excels the rest.

In heaven we shall appear, not in armour, but in robes of glory. But here these are to be worn night and day; we must walk, work, and sleep in them, or else we are not true soldiers of Christ.

Never was a faithful prayer lost. Some prayers have a longer voyage than others, but then they return with their richer lading at last, so that the praying soul is a gainer by waiting for an answer.

Humility is a necessary veil to all other graces.

Great comforts do, indeed, bear witness to the truth of thy grace, but not to the degree of it; the weak child is oftener in the lap than the strong one.

Mercy should make us ashamed, wrath afraid to sin.

All the plots of hell and commotions on earth have not so much as shaken God's hand to spoil one letter or line he has been drawing.

Christ bears with the saints' imperfections; well may the saints one with another.

Humble souls are fearful of their own strength.

And while God had work for Paul, he found him friends both in court and prison. Let persecutors send saints to prison, God can provide a keeper for their turn.

God's wounds cure, sin's kisses kill.

It is not only our duty to pray for others, but also to desire the prayers of others for ourselves.

Godliness, as well as the doctrine of our faith, is a mystery.

Let your hope of heaven master your fear of death.

The devil had as good have let Paul alone, for he no sooner comes into prison but he falls a preaching, at which the gates of Satan's prison fly open, and poor sinners come forth.

Compare not thyself with those that have less than thyself, but look on those that have far exceeded thee.

The sins of teachers are the teachers of sin.

Justifying faith is not a naked assent to the truths of the gospel.

Compare Scripture with Scripture. False doctrines, like false witnesses, agree not among themselves.

The soldier is summoned to a life of active duty and so is the Christian.

God hath made it a debt which one saint owes to another to carry their names to a throne of grace.

We have peace with God as soon as we believe, but not always with ourselves. The pardon may be past the prince's hand and seal, and yet not put into the prisoner's hand.

The grace thou hast will soon be less, if thou addest not more to it.

Men are what they see and judge; though some do not fill up their light, yet none go beyond it.

Let thy hope of heaven master thy fear of death.

The chains of love are stronger than the chains of fear.

Great comforts do indeed bear witness to the truth of thy grace but not to the degree of it the weak child is oftener in the lap than the strong one.

He that is impatient, and cannot wait on God for a mercy, will not easily submit to Him in a denial.

We fear men so much, because we fear God so little.

Evangelism is not an option for the Christian life.

The Christian must trust in a withdrawing God.

No civilization other than that which is Christian, is worth seeking or possessing.

I feel that Christian music is a subculture directed towards the Christians. It's not really being exposed to non-Christians and it's not really created for non-Christians, so non-Christians almost never hear any of this music.

There are any number of people who profess to be good Christian people who are willing to believe all kinds of things on suspicion. Now that is not the way the Bible directs for Christian people to do.

I say quite deliberately that the Christian religion, as organized in its Churches, has been and still is the principal enemy of moral progress in the world.

Every Christian will allow that sin is an evil, and that it is our duty not to commit sin.

War on the other hand is such a terrible thing, that no man, especially a Christian man, has the right to assume the responsibility of starting it.

From a Christian point of view of course we do want a peaceful world, and I think September 11 did actually make people aware not only of vulnerability and how transitory life is, but there are forces of good and honor and justice which speak to us of God and his love for us.

It bothers me to know there is the possibility that I as a Christian would be not only an underdog, but that I would be trodden upon if I claimed that I was a Christian.

I was raised a Christian, but I wouldn't call myself a Christian now. I think when I was younger it was easier to focus on the negative, nihilist vision... this is sort of picking up on the other half of the body, which is God and white light.

We need to stop fighting Christian against Christian. I have no time for anything but trying to love other people. That is a full-time job.

We'll surely stop the work of all western Christian and eastern religions, and also Islam.

I was raised Catholic and I'm Presbyterian now, but I've always been a Christian, regardless of denomination. I believe that Jesus is the way.

What makes you a Christian is whether or not you really are in accord with biblical theology and whether you know Jesus Christ as your Saviour.

A Christian has no right being in a fight unless it's a spiritual fight.

I believed that English-speaking people had a divine mission to civilize the world by making it western, democratic and Christian.

We don't hire ministers or priests to teach and care for us. This forces us to teach and care for each other - and in my view, this is the core of Christian living as Christ taught it.
