The most effective sermons are those which make opposers of the Gospel bite their lips and gnash their teeth.

Self-righteousness exclaims, "I will not be saved in God's way; I will make a new road to heaven; I will not bow before God's grace; I will not accept the atonement which God has wrought out in the person of Jesus; I will be my own redeemer; I will enter heaven by my own strength, and glorify my own merits." The Lord is very wroth against self-righteousness. I do not know of anything against which His fury burneth more than against this, because this touches Him in a very tender point, it insults the glory and honor of His Son Jesus Christ.

To me the Bible is not God, but it is God's voice, and I do not hear it without awe

If He has said much about prayer, it is because He knows we have much need of it.

Methinks every true Christian should be exceedingly earnest in prayer concerning the souls of the ungodly; and when they are so, how abundantly God blesses them and how the church prospers!

Repentance and desires after holiness never be separated.

Beware of no man more than of yourself; we carry our worst enemies within us.
