It is no novelty, then, that I am preaching; no new doctrine. I love to proclaim these strong old doctrines, that are called by nickname Calvinism, but which are surely and verily the revealed truth of God as it is in Christ Jesus.

Your sorrow itself shall be turned into joy. Not the sorrow to be taken away, and joy to be put in its place, but the very sorrow which now grieves you shall be turned into joy. God not only takes away the bitterness and gives sweetness in its place, but turns the bitterness into sweetness itself.

Prayer must not be our chance work but our daily business, our habit and vocation.

If your religion does not make you holy, it will damn you. It is simply painted pageantry to go to hell in.

If we will only think, we shall begin to thank.

If we never have headaches through rebuking our children, we shall have plenty of heartaches when they grow up.

When all else is changing within and around, in God and His mercy no change can be found.
