"The gravest question before the Church is always God Himself."
"Low views of God destroy the gospel for all who hold them... the essence of idolatry is the entertainment of thoughts about God that are unworthy of Him."
"The yearning to know What cannot be known, to comprehend the Incomprehensible, to touch and taste the Unapproachable, arises from the image of God in the nature of man."
"What God declares, the believing hear confesses without the need of further proof."
"We can never know who or what we are till we know at least something of what God is... the fact of God is necessary to the fact of man. Think God away and man has no ground of existence."
"His interest in His creatures arises from His sovereign good pleasure, not from any need those creatures can supply nor from any completeness they can bring Him who is complete in Himself... So, were every man on earth to become atheist, it could not affect God in any way."
"...Yet that God has made us of the stuff of eternity is both a glory yet to be realized and a prophecy yet to be fulfilled."
"His knowledge of our afflictions and adversaries is more than theoretic; it is personal, warm, and compassionate. What ever may befall us, God knows and cares as no one else can."
