A natural faith is sufficient for trusting a human object; but a supernatural faith is required to trust savingly in a Divine object.

How does God save His people from the pleasure of sin? The answer is, “By imparting to them a nature which hates evil and loves holiness.” This takes place when they are born again, so that actual salvation begins with regeneration. Of course it does; where else could it commence? Fallen man can neither perceive his desperate need of salvation, nor come to Christ for it, till he has been renewed by the Holy Spirit.

Faithful people have always been in a marked minority.

Prayer is not intended to change God's purpose, nor is it to move Him to form fresh purposes. God has decreed that certain events shall come to pass through the means He has appointed for their accomplishment.

When you observe that the fire in your room is getting dull, you do not always put on more coal, but simply stir with the poker; so God often uses the black poker of adversity in order that the flames of devotion may burn more brightly.

A 'god' who's will is resisted, designs frustrated, and purpose checkmated, possesses no title to Deity.

Grace can neither be bought, earned, or won by the creature. If it could be, it would cease to be grace.
