A good character is the best tombstone.

Too many think lightly of sin, and therefore think lightly of the Savior.

Prayer gives a channel to the pent-up sorrows of the soul, they flow away, and in their stead streams of sacred delight pour into the heart.
giving christ repentance
Repentance will not make you see Christ; but to see Christ will give you repentance.

He is truly great in who hath power over himself.
