Faith is the silver thread upon which the pearls of the graces are to be hung. Break that, and you have broken the string - the pearls lie scattered on the ground.

The sovereign electing grace of God chooses us to repentance, to faith, and afterwards to holiness of living, to Christian service, to zeal, and to devotion.

The holiest of Christians, and those who understand best the gospel of Christ, find in themselves a constant inclination to look to the power of the creature, instead of looking to the power of God and the power of God alone.

We see his smile of love even when others see nothing but the black hand of death smiting our best beloved.

If we want revivals, we must revive our reverence for the Word of God.

If you have to give a carnival to get people to come to church, then you will have to keep giving carnivals to keep them coming back.

Your emptiness is but the preparation for your being filled, and your casting down is but the making ready for your lifting up.
