Do not be ashamed of the church of Christ in its meanest condition, nor of any that belong to it, nor disown our relation to it, though turned so much to our reproach, since such glorious things are spoken of it, and not on iota of what is said shall fall to the ground. #Psalms87

Many base things were spoken of the city of God by the enemies of it, to render it mean and odious, but by him whose judgment we are sure is according to truth, glorious things are spoken of it. #Psalms87

We are to judge of things and persons by the figure they make and the estimate put upon them in and by the scripture. #Psalms87

God was worshipped in the dwellings of Jacob, and family-worship is family-duty, which must by no means be neglected yet, when they come in competition, public worship (cæ teris paribus--other things being equal) is to be preferred before private. #Psalms87

God loves the gates of Zion better, not only better than any, but better than all, of the dwellings of Jacob. #Psalms87

God has a love for the dwellings of Jacob, has a gracious regard to religious families and accepts their family-worship. #Psalms87

Holiness is the strength and stability of the church: it is this that will support it and keep it from sinking. #Psalms87

The church is built upon the everlasting mountains and the perpetual hills, for sooner shall the mountains depart, and the hills be removed, than the covenant of God's peace shall be disannulled, and on that the church is built, Isaiah 54:10. #Psalms87

The church has a foundation, so that it cannot sink or totter. Christ himself is the foundation of it, which God has laid. The Jerusalem above is a city that has foundations. #Psalms87
