When God places a burden upon you, He places His arms underneath you.

Long ago I ceased to count heads. Truth is usually in the minority in this evil world

What is needed is not the removal of the trouble but the conquest of self.

If God requires of the sinner, dead in sin, that he should take the first step, then he requires just that which renders salvation as impossible under the gospel as it was under the law, since man is as unable to believe as he is to obey.

Do what you believe to be right, and ever hold it for a maxim, that if the skies fall through your doing right, honest men will survive the ruin.

To be laughed at is no great hardship to me. I can delight in scoffs and jeers. Caricatures, lampoons, and slanders are my glory. But that you should turn from your own mercy, this is my sorrow. Spit on me, but, oh, repent! Laugh at me, but, oh, believe in my Master! Make my body as the dirt of the streets, but damn not your own souls!

Nothing that man can present to God by way of sacrifice can ever purchase the blessing of forgiveness.
