Contentment... is the soul's enjoyment of that peace that passes all understanding.

A consciousness of our powerlessness should cast us upon Him who has all power. Here then is where a vision and view of God's sovereignty helps, for it reveals His sufficiency and shows us our insufficiency.

Almost all doctrinal error is really truth perverted. Truth wrongly divided. Truth disproportionately held and taught.

Christ is the Divine answer to the Devil's overthrow of our first parents.

Prayer is not appointed for the furnishing of God with the knowledge of what we need, but it is designed as a confession to Him of our sense of the need. In this, as in everything, God's thoughts are not as ours. God requires that His gifts should be sought for. He designs to be honoured by our asking, just as He is to be thanked by us after He has bestowed His blessing.

It is not the absence of sin but the grieving over it which distinguishes the child of God from empty professors.

The truth of God may well be likened to a narrow path skirted on either side by a dangerous and destructive precipice: in other words, it lies between two gulfs of error.
