I would bear any affliction rather than be burdened with a guilty conscience.

Do not despair, dear heart, but come to the Lord with all your jagged wounds, black bruises, and running sores. He alone can heal, and He delights to do it. It is our Lord's office to bind up the brokenhearted, and He is gloriously at home at it.

The glory of the salvation of souls belongs to God, and to Him alone.

To me the Bible is not God, but it is God's voice, and I do not hear it without awe

Our hope in Christ for the future is the mainspring and the mainstay of our joy down here today.

You will win as many souls as God gives you, but no one will be converted by your own power.

But you are not under a system similar to that by which the Jews were obliged to pay tithes to the priests. If there were any such rule laid down in the Gospel, it would destroy the beauty of spontaneous giving and take away all the bloom from the fruit of your liberality! There is no law to tell me what I should give my father on his birthday. There is no rule laid down in any law book to decide what present a husband should give to his wife, nor what token of affection we should bestow upon others whom we love. No, the gift must be a free one, or it has lost all its sweetness.
