The boy is not afraid of missing his way; he trusts implicitly his father’s guidance. His father’s arm will screen him from all danger, and therefore he does not so much as give it a thought. Why should he? If care is needed as to the road, it is his father’s business to see to it, and the child, therefore,…

I remember hearing of a pious minister who was asked to speak one day upon the subject of joy in God. He stood up and said, “I am sorry that I have been requested to speak upon this topic; for the fact is, I am not walking in the light, but I am crying, ‘Restore to me the joy of your salvation’ (Psa…

John Bunyan, in Pilgrim’s Progress, tells us that Christian, by the light of day, looked back on the Valley of the Shadow of Death, which he had passed through in the nighttime, and saw what a narrow path he had kept and what a bog there was on one side, and what a miry place on the other, and where…

In The Pilgrim’s Progress, as Christian was going along the exceedingly narrow pathway with a deep ditch on one side and a dangerous quagmire upon the other, he came to a stand.

Faith is to believe what God says, to take it to be true, real, a matter of fact. Now when I believe what a man tells me, I do not say to myself, “Well, that is a piece of my creed now,” and then put it on the shelf and have done with it. A man tells me, for instance, in the middle of the night that…

Sometimes we can be afraid of following Christ in the way we know is right. God has made us, the church, as his outpost in a dangerous world.
