Quotes

  • One gem from that ocean is worth all the pebbles from earthly streams.
  • When you are reading a book in a dark room, and come to a difficult part, you take it to a window to get more light. So take your Bibles to Christ.
  • The sea ebbs and flows, but the rock remains unmoved.
  • When a man goes thirsty to the well, his thirst is not allayed by merely going there. On the contrary, it is increased by every step he goes. It is by what he draws out of the well that his thirst is satisfied. And just so it is not by the mere bodily exercise of waiting upon ordinances that you will ever come to peace, but by tasting of Jesus in the ordinances, whose flesh is meat indeed, and His blood drink indeed.
  • There cannot be a secret Christian. Grace is like ointment hid in the hand; it betrayeth itself. If you truly feel the sweetness of the cross of Christ, you will be constrained to confess Christ before men.
  • When this passing world is done,When has sunk yon, glowing sun,When we stand with Christ in glory,Looking o'er life's f1nished story,Then, Lord, shall I fully know —Not till then — how much I owe.
