You will find all true theology summed up in these two short sentences, salvation is all of the grace of God, damnation is all of the will of man.

Obedience is the highest practical courage.

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

The axle of the wheels of the chariot of Providence is Infinite Love, and Gracious Wisdom is the perpetual charioteer.

That which thundered through Scotland must thunder through England again.
