Prayer is an art which only the Spirit can teach us. He is the giver of all prayer.

Affliction of itself does not sanctify any body, but the reverse. I believe in sanctified afflictions, but not in sanctifying afflictions.

Jesus is humble, and His servants must not be proud; but Jesus was never mean or cowardly, nor must His servants be. There was no braver man than Christ. He could stoop to save a soul, but He would stoop to nothing by which His character might be compromised or truth and righteousness insulted. To preach the Gospel boldly is to deliver it as such a message ought to be delivered. Blush to preach of a dying Saviour? Apologize for talking about the Son of God condescending to be made man that He might redeem us from all iniquity? Never!

There is no reward from God to those who seek it from men.

Ten minutes praying is better than a year's murmuring.

When home is ruled according to God's Word, angels might be asked to stay a night with us, and they would not find themselves out of their element.

Gospel riches are sent to remove our wretchedness, and mercy to remove our misery.
