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

To know is not to be wise. To know how to use knowledge is to have wisdom.

There must be a divorce between you and sin, or there can be no marriage between you and Christ.

I will say broadly that I have more confidence in the spiritual life of the children that I have received into this church than I have in the, spiritual condition of the adults thus received. I will even go further than that, and say that I have usually found a clearer knowledge of the gospel and a warmer love of Christ in the child-converts than in the man-converts. I will even astonish you still more by saying that I have sometimes met with a deeper spiritual experience in children of ten and twelve than I have in certain persons of fifty and sixty.

God be thanked when the Law so works as to take off the sinner from all confidence in himself! To make the leper confess that he is incurable is going a great way toward compelling him to go to that divine Savior, who alone is able to heal him. This is the whole end of the Law toward men whom God will save.

I believe that one reason why the church of God at this present moment has so little influence over the world is because the world has so much influence over the church.

The grace of the spirit comes only from heaven, and lights up the whole bodily presence.
