Robert Murray M'Cheyne 2
It is not great talents God blesses so much as likeness to Jesus. A holy minister is an awful weapon in the hand of God.
If I could hear Christ praying for me in the next room, I would not fear a million enemies. Yet distance makes no difference. He is praying for me.

Thomas Watson
Til sin be bitter, Christ will not be sweet
God’s words are creating words; when He said “Let there be light, there was light”; and when He says, “Let there be faith”, it shall be so.
To be holiest in evil times, is an indication of the truth of grace. To profess religion when the times favor it, is no great matter. Almost all will court the Gospel Queen when she is hung with jewels. But to own the ways of God when they are decried and maligned, to love a persecuted truth–this evidences a vital principle of goodness. Dead fish swim down the stream–living fish swim against it. To swim against the common stream of evil, shows grace to be alive.
