Be dogmatically true, obstinately holy, immovably honest, desperately kind, fixedly upright.

Satan does not care whether he drags you down to hell as a Calvinist or as an Arminian, so long as he can get you there.

If you would be holy, you must live close to Jesus.

We cannot play at preaching. We preach for eternity.

God will not go forth with that man who marches in his own strength

Oh, for five hundred Elijahs, each one upon his Carmel , crying unto God, and we should soon have the clouds bursting into showers. Oh, for more prayer, more constant, incessant prayer! Then the blessing would rain upon us.

You and I cannot be useful if we want to be sweet as honey in the mouths of men. God will never bless us if we wish to please men, that they may think well of us. Are you willing to tell them what will break your own heart in the telling and break theirs in the hearing? If not, you are not fit to serve the Lord. You must be willing to go and speak for God, though you will be rejected.
