Eternity itself will be too short to set forth the love of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Christ Died for Each Person
He died not for men but for each man. If each man had been the only man made He would have done no less.

The State of the Nation Depends upon the State of the Church
If the Church languishes, the State cannot be in health; and if the State rebels against its Lord and King, the Church cannot enjoy His favor. If the Holy Spirit is withdrawn from the Church, He is not present in the State; and if He, the only ‘Lord, the Giver of Life,’ be absent, then all order is impossible, and the elements of society lapse backward to primeval night and chaos … I charge you, citizens of the United States, afloat on your wide sea of politics, there is another King, one Jesus: the safety of the State can be secured only in the way of humble and whole-souled loyalty to His person and of obedience to His law.
O Christ, Our Hope, Our Heart’s Desire
The Kind of Heart a Woman Should Have
Subtitle: The Kind of Woman a Man Should Want
A woman’s heart should be so close to God that a man should have to chase Him to find her.

One Step from Prison to Glory
When we shall come home, and enter into the possession of our Brother’s fair kingdom, and when our heads shall find the weight of the eternal crown of glory, then we shall look back to pains and sufferings and then we will see life and sorrow to be less than one step or stride from a prison to glory. Our little inch of time-suffering is not worthy of our first night’s welcome-home to heaven.
Christ Paid Too Great a Cost
The souls whom He [Christ] has purchased and redeemed with His own blood are far too precious to be wasted and thrown away.
We Can’t Play Fast and Loose with the Gospel!
We cannot … play fast and loose with the Gospel. He who reads his Bible, he who lives by the Gospels and Epistles as his light and his guide, must find that the keystone of the arch is the atonement; must find it is finished, in the sense of the accomplishment of the sacrifice and the propitiation for sin, written everywhere upon every doctrine and every precept and every promise of the Gospel.
Charles John Vaughan, Words from the Cross.
INDESCRIBABLE!
No pen, no words, no image can express to you the loveliness of my only, only Lord Jesus.
Man’s Day and God’s Day
Man has a day now, which Paul calls ‘man’s day’ (1 Cor. 4.3 [margin]), in which he gets on his throne bench and usurps a judgment over Christ and His ways; but God has a day in which He will set everything straight, and His judgment shall stand. And the saints shall have their time, when they shall sit in judgment on those that judge them now (1 Cor. 6.2). Christ will rule in the midst of His enemies (Psa. 110.2), even in the midst of our hearts.
