Half our fears arise from neglect of the Bible.

Oh, the hard, cruel thoughts which men have toward one another when they are angry! They kill and slay a thousand times over. These hasty sins are soon forgotten by us, but they are not forgotten by God.

A godly man often grows best when his worldly circumstances decay. He who follows Christ for his bag is a Judas; they who follow for loaves and fishes are children of the devil; but they who attend Him out of love to Himself are His own beloved ones. Lord, let me find my life in Thee, and not in the mire of this world's favour or gain.

The grandest discourse ever delivered is an ostentatious failure if the doctrine of the grace of God be absent from it.

People will not receive the balm of the gospel unless they know something of the wounds that sin has made.

If you love anything better than God you are idolaters: if there is anything you would not give up for God it is your idol: if there is anything that you seek with greater fervor than you seek the glory of God, that is your idol, and conversion means a turning from every idol.

The most effective sermons are those which make opposers of the Gospel bite their lips and gnash their teeth.
