Faith has a saving connection with Christ. Christ is on the shore, so to speak, holding the rope, and as we lay hold of it with the hand of our confidence, He pulls us to shore; but all good works having no connection with Christ are drifted along down the gulf of fell despair.

Consume all obstacles, heavenly fire, and give us now both hearts of flame and tongues of fire to preach Your reconciling word, for Jesus' sake

A man who knows that he is saved by believing in Christ does not, when he is baptized, lift his baptism into a saving ordinance. In fact, he is the very best protester against that mistake, because he holds that he has no right to be baptized until he is saved.

Our prayers are the shadows of mercy.

Persecution is the heirloom of the church, and the ensign of the elect.

Whenever you get one inch above the ground in your own esteem, you are that inch too high!

To receive the Word in the ear is one thing, and to receive Jesus into your very soul is quite another.
