“Unless God’s Word illumine the way, the whole life of men is wrapped in darkness and mist, so that they cannot but miserably stray.”

The fire of affliction reveals the quality of our faith.

True wisdom consists in two things: Knowledge of God and Knowledge of Self.

Sometimes it seems things go by too quickly. We are so busy watching out for what’s just ahead of us that we don’t take the time to enjoy where we are.

There is no knowing that does not begin with knowing God.

Nothing is more dangerous than to be blinded by prosperity.

The majesty of God in itself goes beyond the capacity of human understanding and cannot be comprehended by it.. We must adore its loftiness rather than investigate it, so that we do not remain overwhelmed by so great a splendor.

The grace of God has no charms for men till the Holy Spirit gives them a taste for it.

Those who fall away have never been thoroughly imbued with the knowledge of Christ but only had a slight and passing taste of it.

God preordained, for his own glory and the display of His attributes of mercy and justice, a part of the human race, without any merit of their own, to eternal salvation, and another part, in just punishment of their sin, to eternal damnation.

Wherever we see the Word of God purely preached and heard, there a church of God exists, even if it swarms with many faults.

Whomever the Lord has adopted and deemed worthy of His fellowship ought to prepare themselves for a hard, toilsome, and unquiet life, crammed with very many and various kinds of evil.

There is no group or type of people anywhere in the world that is excluded from salvation, because God desires that the gospel be proclaimed to all without exception.

I once asked a bird, how is it that you fly in this gravity of darkness? She responded, ‘love lifts me.’

Through thickest gloom look back, immortal shade, On that confusion which thy death has made.

Life is a hard battle anyway. If we laugh and sing a little as we fight the good fight of freedom, it makes it all go easier. I will not allow my life’s light to be determined by the darkness around me.

She lost herself, a little, in that darkness but returned with stars beneath her skin.

The people we love live in the moon. Guiding us on our darkest nights.

A lie that is half-truth is the darkest of all lies.

Thou didst, in strains of eloquence refin’d, Inflame the soul, and captivate the mind.

If we try to deny the darkness in our souls then we’ll become completely dark.
