Sin is no little thing. It girded the Redeemer’s head with thorns, and pierced his heart . . . Look upon all sin as that which crucified the Saviour, and you will see it to be ‘exceeding sinful’.

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

True prayer is an approach of the soul by the Spirit of God to the throne of God.

Providence is wonderfully intricate. Ah! You want always to see through Providence, do you not? You never will, I assure you. You have not eyes good enough. You want to see what good that affliction was to you; you must believe it. You want to see how it can bring good to the soul; you may be enabled in a little time; but you cannot see it now; you must believe it. Honor God by trusting Him.

Salvation is all grace, which means, free, gratis, for nothing.

I am throwing all my good works overboard, and lashing myself to the plank of free grace; for I hope to swim to glory on it.

Prayer is doubts destroyer, ruin's remedy, the antidote to all anxieties.
