Our best performances are so stained with sin, that it is hard to know whether they are good works or bad works.

I would sooner bring one sinner to Jesus Christ than unravel all the mysteries of the divine Word, for salvation is the one thing we are to live for.

Repentance and faith are distasteful to the unregenerate; they would sooner repeat a thousand formal prayers than shed a solitary tear of true repentance.

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

Right is right though all condemn, and wrong is wrong though all approve.

Some temptations come to the industrious, but all temptations attack the idle

Dear brethren, this is exactly what we have to do, we have to pawn the present for the future. We must be satisfied to give up anything which Christ may require of us for the sake of that which is to come. Our inheritance is not on this side of Jordan. Our joy is yet to be revealed. I grant you that we have much thrown in, for the Lord is a good paymaster; but on the road to heaven he gives us only our spending money.
