Patience is a grace as difficult as it is necessary, and as hard to come by as it is precious when it is gained.

Man's wonder grows with his knowledge.

If you cut him, (John Bunyan) he'd bleed Scripture!

Every sufferer who bears pain, or slander, or loss, or personal unkindness for Christ’s sake, is filling up that amount of suffering which is necessary to the bringing together of the whole body of Christ, and the upbuilding of His elect Church.

Sometimes we are inclined to think that a very great portion of modern revivalism has been more a curse than a blessing, because it has led thousands to a kind of peace before they have known their misery; restoring the prodigal to the Father’s house, and never making him say, “Father, I have sinned.”

Great thoughts of your sin alone will drive you to despair; but great thoughts of Christ will pilot you into the haven of peace.

From all the afflictions, Your glory shall spring. And the deeper the sorrow, the louder you'll sing.
