A world where everything was easy would be a nursery for babies, but not at all a fit place for men.

If there is any verse that you would like left out of the Bible, that is the verse that ought to stick to you, like a blister, until you really attend to its teaching.

If you will not have death unto sin, you shall have sin unto death. There is no alternative. If you do not die to sin, you shall die for sin. If you do not slay sin, sin will slay you.

I do not believe that any man can preach the gospel who does not preach the Law. The Law is the needle, and you cannot draw the silken thread of the gospel through a man’s heart unless you first send the needle of the Law to make way for it.

Your damnation is your own election, not God’s.

Beloved, can you feel assured that He carried your sin?

None of us can come to the highest maturity without enduring the summer heat of trials.
