Faith is the accepting of what God gives. Faith is the believing what God says. Faith is the trusting to what Jesus has done. Only do this and you are saved, as surely as you are alive!

God gave me this great book to preach from, and if He has put anything in it you think is not fit, go and complain to Him, not to me. I am simply his servant, and if His errand that I am to tell is objectionable, I cannot help it.
A sermon wept over is more acceptable with God than one gloried over.
The Lord is a good banker, and I trust Him. He has never failed me. Why should I be anxious?
The devil is not afraid of a dust-covered Bible.
