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

Sin is no little thing. It girded the Redeemer’s head with thorns, and pierced his heart . . . Look upon all sin as that which crucified the Saviour, and you will see it to be ‘exceeding sinful’.

Christians are not so much in danger when they are persecuted as when they are admired.

May every one of us believe Him better, and have greater thoughts of Him, and never let us be guilty henceforth of confining, as it were, within iron bonds the limitless One of Israel.

Do not try to make the gospel tasteful to carnal minds. Do not hide the offense of the cross, lest you make it of no effect.

The word of God is always most precious to the man who most lives upon it.

If you would be holy, you must live close to Jesus.
