Medicine makes people ill, mathematics make them sad and theology makes them sinful.
Either sin is with you, lying on your shoulders, or it is lying on Christ, the Lamb of God. Now if it is lying on your back, you are lost; but if it is resting on Christ, you are free, and you will be saved. Now choose what you want.
They gave our Master a crown of thorns, why do we hope for a crown of roses?
By faith we began, by hope we continue, and by revelation we shall obtain the whole.
The Clergy is the greatest hindrance to faith.
In a word, the Holy Scripture is the highest and best of books, abounding in comfort under all afflictions and trials. It teaches us to see, to feel, to grasp, and to comprehend faith, hope, and charity, far otherwise than mere human reason can; and while evil oppresses us, it teaches how these virtues throw light upon the darkness, and how, after this poor, miserable existence of ours on earth, there is another and an eternal life.
Sin is essentially a departure from God.
Nothing in the world causes so much misery as uncertainty.
Prayer is not overcoming God's reluctance. It is laying hold of His willingness.

War for the sake of war is sin, but war for the sake of defense is duty.

Science gives man knowledge which is power; religion gives man wisdom which is control.
The God of this world is riches, pleasure and pride.
The fewer the words, the better the prayer.
The first duty of the gospel preacher is to declare God's law and to show the nature of sin.
Of whom shall I be afraid? One with God is a majority.
I cannot choose but adhere to the word of God, which has possession of my conscience; nor can I possibly, nor will I even make any recantation, since it is neither safe nor honest to act contrary to conscience! Here I stand; I cannot do otherwise, so help me God! Amen.
Music is a fair and glorious gift of God. I am strongly persuaded that after theology, there is no art which can be placed on the level with music.
At night always carry in your heart something from Holy Scriptures to bed with you, meditate upon it like a ruminant animal, and go softly to sleep; but this must not be too much, rather a little that may be well pondered and understood, that you may find a remnant of it in your mind when you rise in the morning.
Beer is made by men, wine by God.
If I am not allowed to laugh in heaven, I don't want to go there.
