I thought I could have leaped from earth to heaven at one spring when I first saw my sins drowned in the Redeemer's blood.

Atonement by the blood of Jesus is not an arm of Christian truth; it is the heart of it.

It is well for us that, amidst all the variableness of life, there is One whom change cannot affect; One whose heart can never alter, and on whose brow mutability can make no furrows.

Shall we keep men in a fool's paradise? Shall we lull them into soft slumbers from which they will awake in hell? Are we to become helpers of their damnation by our smooth speeches? In the name of God, we will not!

I am certain that to preach the wrath of God with a hard heart, a cold lip, a tearless eye, and an unfeeling spirit is to harden men, not benefit them.

Evil things are easy things: for they are natural to our fallen nature. Right things are rare flowers that need cultivation.

You will never know the fullness of Christ until you know the emptiness of everything but Christ.
