“Let the wife make the husband glad to come home, and let him make her sorry to see him leave.”

Our Lord has written the promise of resurrection, not in books alone, but in every leaf in springtime.

We do not become righteous by doing righteous deed but, having been made righteous, we do righteous deeds.

It is the duty of every Christian to be Christ to his neighbor.

Whoever sees Christ as a mirror of the Father’s heart, actually walks through the world with new eyes.

The heart of the giver makes the gift dear and precious.

The church that preaches the gospel in all of its fullness, except as it applies to the great social ills of the day, is failing to preach the gospel.

I feel like I was supposed to be born in the ’90s. Everything from that era needs to come back.
