I have not much patience with a certain class of Christians nowadays who will hear anybody preach so long as they can say, 'He is very clever, a fine preacher, a man of genius, a born orator.' Is cleverness to make false doctrine palatable? Why, sirs, to me the ability of a man who preaches error is my sorrow rather than my admiration.

A Christian is the gentlest of men; but then he is a man.

This is faith, receiving the truth of Christ; first knowing it to be true, and then acting upon that belief.

The motto of all true servants of God must be, ‘We preach Christ; and him crucified.’ A sermon without Christ in it is like a loaf of bread without any flour in it. No Christ in your sermon, sir? Then go home, and never preach again until you have something worth preaching.

Be sure, whatever you leave out, that you teach the children the three R’s,-Ruin, Redemption, and Regeneration.

That conversion which is all joy and lacks sorrow for sin, is very questionable.

When you go through a trial, the sovereignty of God is the pillow upon which you lay your head.
