Abhor all idea of being saved by good works, but O, be as full of good works as if you were to be saved by them!

When fathers are tongue tied religiously with their offspring, need they wonder if their children's hearts remain sin tied?

He who sings a song to Christ in the night, sings the best song in all the world; for he sings from the heart.

We hold that man is never so near grace as when he begins to feel he can do nothing at all.

Let this one great, gracious, glorious fact lie in your spirit until it permeates all your thoughts and makes you rejoice even though you are without strength. Rejoice that the Lord Jesus has become your strength and your song - He has become your salvation.

The work of God's Holy Spirit begins with bruising. In order to be saved, the fallow ground must be plowed up, the hard heart must be broken, the rock must be split apart.

You cannot preach conviction of sin unless you have suffered it. You cannot preach repentance unless you have practiced it. You cannot preach faith unless you have exercised it. True preaching is artesian; it wells up from the great depths of the soul. If Christ has not made a well within us, there will be no outflow from us.
