I cannot conceive of a greater wounding of the heart of Christ than to pay reverence to anything in the shape of a cross, or to bow before a crucifix!

If you delight more in God’s gifts than in God Himself, you are practically setting up another God above Him, and this you must never do.

Where God takes such pains to teach, we ought to be at pains to learn.

He who does not hate the false does not love the true; and he to whom it is all the same whether it be God's word or man's, is himself unrenewed at heart.

Next to the Bible, the book I value most is John Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress. I believe I have read it through at least a hundred times. It is a volume of which I never seem to tire; and the secret of its freshness is that it is so largely compiled from the Scriptures.

I am certain that I never did grow in grace one-half so much anywhere as I have upon the bed of pain.

As for His failing you, never dream of it -- hate the thought of it. The God who has been sufficient until now, should be trusted to the end.
