Prayer is the thermometer of grace.
Where God works, He works with men that work.
The best worship that we ever render to God is far from perfect. Our praises, how faint and feeble they are! Our prayers, how wandering, how wavering they are! When we get nearest to God, how far off we are! When we are most like Him, how greatly unlike Him we are!
You never have to drag mercy out of Christ, as money from a miser.
It is far easier to fight with sin in public than to pray against it in private.
You cannot make a sinner into a saint by killing him. He who does not live as a saint here will never live as a saint hereafter.
