  • Morning & Evening

    The Christian should never think or speak lightly of unbelief. For a child of God to mistrust his love, his truth, his faithfulness, must be greatly displeasing to him.

  • Morning & Evening

    It was far above the power of nature, and even contrary to its laws, that the aged Sarah should be honoured with a son; and even so it is beyond all ordinary rules that I, a poor, helpless, undone sinner, should find grace to bear about in my soul the indwelling Spirit of the Lord…

    Elizabeth C. Clephane, 1830–1869 There will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.
