Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding. (Proverbs 23)

Strange Rugged Providences

As all the stones that were about Stephen’s ears did but knock him the closer to Christ, the corner-stone—so all the strange rugged providences that we meet with, they shall raise us nearer heaven, and knock us nearer to Christ, that precious corner-stone.
