My soul, never laugh at sin's fooleries, lest thou come to smile at sin itself. It is thine enemy, and thy Lord's enemy.

I do not know when I am more perfectly happy than when I am weeping for sin at the foot of the cross.

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.

The Lord's mercy often rides to the door of our heart upon the black horse of affliction.

The grace of the spirit comes only from heaven, and lights up the whole bodily presence.

I can admire the solemn and stately language of worship that recognizes the greatness of God, but it will not warm my heart or express my soul until it has also blended therewith the joyful nearness of that perfect love that casts out fear and ventures to speak with our Father in heaven as a child speaks with its father on earth. My brother, no veil remains.

When we come to the end of self we come to the beginning of Christ.
