There must be a divorce between you and sin, or there can be no marriage between you and Christ.

A sermon without Christ as its beginning, middle, and end is a mistake in conception, a crime in execution.

Whenever GOD determines to do a great work, HE first sets HIS people to pray.

If we do wrong and no harm comes of it, we are not thereby justified. If we did evil and good came of it, the evil would be just as evil. It is not the result of the action, but the action itself which God weighs.

You are not mature if you have a high esteem of yourself. He who boasts in himself is but a babe in Christ, if indeed he be in Christ at all. Young Christians may think much of themselves. Growing Christians think themselves nothing. Mature Christians know that they are less than nothing. The more holy we are, the more we mourn our infirmities, and the humbler is our estimate of ourselves.

When God's mercies are coming, their footfalls are our desires to pray.

Not for yourself, O church, do you exist, any more than Christ existed for himself.
