The more a church flourishes, the more, I believe, do hypocrites get in, just as you see many a noxious creeping thing come and get in a garden after a shower of rain. The very things that make glad the flowers bring out these noxious things. And so hypocrites get in and steal much of the church's sap away.

When joy and prayer are married, their first born child is gratitude.

That conversion which is all joy and lacks sorrow for sin, is very questionable.

A time will come when instead of shepherds feeding the sheep, the church will have clowns entertaining the goats

If I had never joined a church till I had found one that was perfect, I should never have joined one at all.

It is blessed to eat into the very soul of the Bible until the very essence of the Bible flows from you.

God save us from living in comfort while sinners are sinking into hell!
