No guilt is so great, but there is a remedy in Christ’s blood which atones for it.
No corruption is so strong, but there is a remedy in His grace which can subdue it.

Those who are passing with Christ over the ocean of this world, must expect storms.

There is no spiritual disease, but there is power in Christ for the cure of it!
