The motto of all true servants of God must be, ‘We preach Christ; and him crucified.’ A sermon without Christ in it is like a loaf of bread without any flour in it. No Christ in your sermon, sir? Then go home, and never preach again until you have something worth preaching.

Pardon ever follows sincere repentence.

Whatever call a man may pretend to have, if he has not been called to holiness, he certainly has not been called to the ministry.

Remember this, had any other condition been better for you than the one in which you are, divine love would have put you there.

If you hear a man rail at the Bible, you can usually conclude that he never reads it.

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?

If you profess to be a Christian, yet find full satisfaction in worldly pleasures and pursuits, your profession is false.
