It may be very well to do this and that for good fellowship; but it will never do to lose the friendship of God in order to keep on good terms with men.

Unbelief will destroy the best of us; faith will save the worst of us.

Blessed are the peacemakers, and one sure way of peacemaking is to let the fire of contention alone. Neither fan it, nor stir it, nor add fuel to it, but let it go out by itself. Begin your ministry with one blind eye and one deaf ear.

If we be married to Christ, and He be jealous of us, depend upon it this jealous husband will let none touch His spouse.

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

A little thorn may cause much suffering. A little cloud may hide the sun. Little foxes spoil the vines; and little sins do mischief to the tender heart. These little sins burrow in the soul, and make it so full of that which is hateful to Christ, that he will hold no comfortable fellowship and communion with us. A great sin cannot destroy a Christian, but a little sin can make him miserable.

The more holy, the more humble.
