I know of no better thermometer to your spiritual temperature than this, the measure of the intensity of your prayer.

The iron bolt...mysteriously fastens the door of hope and holds our spirits in a gloomy prison.

Mind your till, and till your mind.

This is the doctrine that we preach; if a man be saved, all the honor is to be given to Christ; but if a man be lost, all the blame is to be laid upon himself. You will find all true theology summed up in these two short sentences, salvation is all of the grace of God, damnation is all of the will of man.

A church is a soul-saving company or it is nothing.

Faith is not a blind thing; for faith begins with knowledge. It is not a speculative thing; for faith believes facts of which it is sure. It is not an unpractical, dreamy thing; for faith trusts, and stakes its destiny upon the truth of revelation.

The faith which saves is not one single act done on a certain day: it is an act continued and persevered in throughout the life of man.
