If we be married to Christ, and He be jealous of us, depend upon it this jealous husband will let none touch His spouse.

When you think of what you are, and despair; think also of what He is, and take heart.

Your damnation is your own election, not God’s.

You are engaged in a work so spiritual, so far above all human power, that to forget the Spirit is to ensure defeat.

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

Jesus is humble, and His servants must not be proud; but Jesus was never mean or cowardly, nor must His servants be. There was no braver man than Christ. He could stoop to save a soul, but He would stoop to nothing by which His character might be compromised or truth and righteousness insulted. To preach the Gospel boldly is to deliver it as such a message ought to be delivered. Blush to preach of a dying Saviour? Apologize for talking about the Son of God condescending to be made man that He might redeem us from all iniquity? Never!

May your convictions be deep, your love real, and your desires earnest
