The law shows the distance that exists between God and man; the Gospel bridges that awful chasm and brings the sinner across it.

I know of nothing which I would choose to have as the subject of my ambition for life than to be kept faithful to my God till death.

O prejudice, prejudice, prejudice, how many hast thou destroyed! Men who might have been wise have remained fools because they thought they were wise. Many judge what the gospel ought to be, but do not actually enquire as to what it is. They do not come to the Bible to obtain their views of religion, but they open that Book to find texts to suit the opinions which they bring to it. They are not open to the honest force of truth, and therefore are not saved by it.

Men will never be great in theology until they are great in suffering.

Men are in a restless pursuit after satisfaction and earthly things. They have no forethought for their eternal state, the present hour absorbs them. They turn to another and another of earth's broken cisterns, hoping to find water, where not a drop was ever discovered yet.

If there were no hell, the loss of heaven would be hell.

Is it not an amazing fact that while others leave us and forsake us, that God never does?
