If there be a man before me who says that the wrath of God is too heavy a punishment for his little sin, I ask him, if the sin be little, why does he not give it up?

Think not of the sinner or the greatness of his sin, but think of the greatness of the Savior!

The old, old gospel is the newest thing in the world; in its very essence it is for ever good news.

A child of God should be a visible beatitude for joy and happiness, and a living doxology for gratitude and adoration.

If God calls you to be a minister, don't stoop to becoming a king.

Preach not calmly and quietly as though you were asleep, but preach with fire and pathos and passion.

The old truth that Calvin preached, that Augustine preached, that Paul preached, is the truth that I must preach to-day, or else be false to my conscience and my God. I cannot shape the truth; I know of no such thing as paring off the rough edges of a doctrine. John Knox's gospel is my gospel. That which thundered through Scotland must thunder through England again.
