My trust is not that I am holy, but that being unholy, he is my righteousness.

Nothing teaches us about the preciousness of the Creator as much as when we learn the emptiness of everything else.

If any man is not sure that he is in Christ, he ought not to be easy one moment until he is sure. Dear friend, without the fullest confidence as to your saved condition, you have no right to be at ease, and I pray you may never be so. This is a matter too important to be left undecided.

That very church which the world likes best is sure to be that which God abhors.

I need not ask whether I may call on Him or not, for that word 'Whosoever' is a very wide and comprehensive one...My case is urgent, and I do not see how I am to be delivered; but this is no business of mine. He who makes the promise will find ways and means of keeping it. It is mine to obey His commands; it is not mine to direct His counsels. I am His servant, not His solicitor. I call upon Him, and He will deliver.

It's a good thing God chose me before I was born, because he surely would not have afterwards.

An ill life will effectually drown the voice of the most eloquent ministry.
