If there is one doctrine I have preached more than another, it is the doctrine of the Perseverance of the Saints even to the end.

God does not need your strength: he has more than enough of power of his own. He asks your weakness: he has none of that himself, and he is longing, therefore, to take your weakness, and use it as the instrument in his own mighty hand. Will you not yield your weakness to him, and receive his strength?

As the rain soaks into the ground, so pray the Lord to let his gospel soak into your soul.

If you tell your troubles to God, you put them into the grave; they will never rise again when you have committed them to Him. If you roll your burden anywhere else, it will roll back again like the stone of Sisyphus.

Prayer is the slender nerve that moves the muscle of omnipotence.

We fear not God because of any compulsion; our faith is no fetter, our profession is no bondage, we are not dragged to holiness, nor driven to duty. No, our piety is our pleasure, our hope is our happiness, our duty is our delight.

A sheep in the midst of wolves is safe compared with the Christian in the midst of ungodly men.
