God never punishes his children in the sense of avenging justice. He chastens as a father does his child, but he never punishes his redeemed as a judge does a criminal. It is unjust to exact punishment from redeemed souls since Christ has been punished in their place. How shall the Lord punish twice for one offense?

You and your sins must separate, or you and your God will never come together.

He who have two grounds of trust is lost!

If your faith does not make you pray, have nothing to do with it; get rid of it, and God help thee to begin again.

The disciples of a patient Saviour should be patient themselves.

I would to God that saints would cling to Christ half as earnestly as sinners cling to the devil. If we were as willing to suffer for God as some are to suffer for their lusts, what perseverance and zeal would be seen on all sides!

To trust God in the light is nothing, but trust him in the dark-that is faith.
