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.

Where sin had brought men, love brought the Saviour.

When we complain about the weather, we are, in reality, murmuring against God.

The gospel is not an announcement that God has relaxed his justice or lowered the standard of His holiness.

The god which the vast majority of professing Christians love is looked upon very much like an indulgent old man, who himself has no relish for folly, but leniently winks at the indiscretions of youth...For one sin God banished our first parents from Eden; for one sin all the posterity of Canaan fell under a curse which remains over them to this day; for one sin Moses was excluded form the promised land; Elisha’s servant smitten with leprosy; Ananias and Sapphira were cut off from the land of the living.

Whatever I cannot do for God's glory must be avoided.

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