Prayer is one of the necessary wheels of the machinery of providence.

But no thoughtful man's life is uninteresting or devoid of marvels. A sincere life cannot be empty of memorable occurrences.

If there is one doctrine I have preached more than another, it is the doctrine of the Perseverance of the Saints even to the end.

God has so made man's heart that nothing can ever fill it but God himself.

Prayer is doubts destroyer, ruin's remedy, the antidote to all anxieties.

I believe certain doctrines because God says they are true; and the only authority I have for their truth is the Word of God. I receive such and such doctrines, not because I can prove them to be compatible with reason, not because my judgment accepts them, but because God says they are true. Now this is one of the best services we can render to God,-to submit ourselves to him in our belief of what he has revealed, and ask him to fix his truths in our hearts, and make us obey them.

We fear not God because of any compulsion; our faith is no fetter, our profession is no bondage, we are not dragged to holiness, nor driven to duty. No, our piety is our pleasure, our hope is our happiness, our duty is our delight.
