I always say to young fellows who consult me about the ministry, "Don't be a minister if you can help it," because if the man can help it, God never called him. But if he cannot help it, and he must preach or die, then he is the man.

Begin early to teach, for children begin early to sin.

You will always know whether you are delivered from the guilt of sin by answering this question: Am I delivered from the love of sin?

Think lightly of hell, and you will think lightly of the cross. Think little of the sufferings of lost souls, and you will soon think little of the Savior who delivers them.

It is not your hold of Christ that saves you, but His hold of you.

Wisdom is the right use of knowledge. To know is not to be wise. Many men know a great deal, and are all the greater fools for it. There is no fool so great a fool as a knowing fool. But to know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom.

The Bible, the whole Bible, and nothing but the Bible is the religion of Christ's church.
