Man was made in the image of God, and nothing will satisfy man but God, in whose image he was made.

Fiery trials make golden Christians.

All the preaching in the world cannot make a man see the truth so long as his eyes are blinded.

Faith is a principle which hath its root deeper feeling. We believe, whether we see or not.

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

A godly man often grows best when his worldly circumstances decay. He who follows Christ for his bag is a Judas; they who follow for loaves and fishes are children of the devil; but they who attend Him out of love to Himself are His own beloved ones. Lord, let me find my life in Thee, and not in the mire of this world's favour or gain.

Morality is a neat cover for foul venom, but it does not alter the fact that the heart is vile, and the man himself is under damnation. Men will be damned with good works as well as without them, if they make them their confidence (rather than Jesus Christ).
