What bliss will fill the ransomed souls, when they in glory dwell, to see the sinner as he rolls, in quenchless flames of hell Picture Quote #1

Do not spend the day in gathering flowers by the way side, lest night come upon you before you arrive at your journey’s end, and then you will not reach it Picture Quote #1

To see the dull indifference, the negligent and thoughtless air that sits upon the faces of a whole assembly, while the psalm is upon their lips, might even tempt a charitable observer to suspect the fervency of their inward religion Picture Quote #1
