Whatever call a man may pretend to have, if he has not been called to holiness, he certainly has not been called to the ministry.

It is not a matter of time so much as a matter of heart; if you have the heart to pray, you will find the time.

Man is a fallen star till he is right with heaven: he is out of order with himself and all around him till he occupies his true place in relation to God. When he serves God, he has reached that point where he doth serve himself best, and enjoys himself most. It is man's honour, it is man's joy, it is man's heaven, to live unto God.
