In seasons of severe trial, the Christian has nothing on earth that he can trust to, and is therefore compelled to cast himself on God alone. When no human deliverance can avail, he must simply and entirely trust himself to the providence and care of God. Happy storm that wrecks a man on such a rock as this! O blessed hurricane that drives the soul to God--and God alone!

If your creed and Scripture do not agree, cut your creed to pieces, but make it agree with this book.

If you can sin and not weep over it, you are an heir of Hell. If you can go into sin, and afterwards feel satisfied to have done so, you are on the road to destruction. If there are no prickings of conscience, no inward torments, no bleeding wounds; if you have no throbs and heavings of a bosom that cannot rest; if your soul never feels filled with wormwood and gall when you know you have done evil, you are no child of God.

I have a great need for Christ: I have a great Christ for my need.

A good character is the best tombstone.

Easy roads make sleepy travellers.

I will not believe that thou hast tasted of the honey of the gospel if thou canst eat it all thyself.
