Every time you prefer the pleasures of this world to the joys of heaven, you spit in the face of Christ; every time when to gain in your business, you do an unrighteous thing, you are like Judas selling Him for thirty pieces of silver; every time you make a false profession of religion, you give Him a traitor's kiss; every word you have spoken against Him, every hard thought you have had of Him, has helped to complete your complicity with the great crowd which gathered around the Cross of Calvary, to mock and jeer the Lord of life and glory.

You cannot be Christ’s servant if you are not willing to follow him, cross and all. What do you crave? A crown? Then it must be a crown of thorns if you are to be like him. Do you want to be lifted up? So you shall, but it will be upon a cross.

Nobody can do as much damage to the church of God as the man who is within its walls, but not within its life.

Groanings which cannot be uttered are often prayers which cannot be refused.

If Christ has died for me, I cannot trifle with the evil that killed my best Friend.

There is nothing that will keep a person from Christ like a good opinion of himself.

Intercessory prayer is an act of communion with Christ, for Jesus pleads for the sons of men.
