A holy life is in itself a wonderful power, and will make up for many deficiencies; it is in fact the best sermon a man can ever deliver.

Nothing can damn a man but his own righteousness; nothing can save him but the righteousness of Christ.

When you see no present advantage, walk by faith and not by sight. Do God the honor to trust Him when it comes to matters of loss for the sake of principle.

Backsliders begin with dusty Bibles and end with filthy garments.

Surely if men's hearts were right, short sermons would be enough.

Free-will doctrine-what does it? It magnifies man into God. It declares God's purposes a nullity, since they cannot be carried out unless men are willing. It makes God's will a waiting servant to the will of man, and the whole covenant of grace dependent on human action. Denying election on the ground of injustice, it holds God to be a debtor to sinners.

A sermon without Christ as its beginning, middle, and end is a mistake in conception, a crime in execution.
