When the heart is full of joy, it always allows its joy to escape. It is like the fountain in the marketplace; whenever it is full it runs away in streams, and so soon as it ceases to overflow, you may be quite sure that it has ceased to be full. The only full heart is the overflowing heart.

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.

If we want revivals, we must revive our reverence for the Word of God.

Anger does a man more hurt than that which made him angry.

To pretend to trust Christ to save you from sin while you are still determined to continue in it is making a mockery of Christ.

The grandest discourse ever delivered is an ostentatious failure if the doctrine of the grace of God be absent from it.

However little we may be, if we are the Lord's, we may rejoice that we are preserved in Christ Jesus.
