If you will tell me when God permits a Christian to lay aside his armour, I will tell you when Satan has left off temptation. Like the old knights in war time, we must sleep with helmet and breastplate buckled on, for the arch-deceiver will seize our first unguarded hour to make us his prey. The Lord keep us watchful in all seasons, and give us a final escape from the jaw of the lion and the paw of the bear.

Blood, always precious, is priceless when it streams from Immanuel's side.

Not that our salvation should be the effect of our work, but our work should be the evidence of our salvation.

There is no healing a man till the law has wounded him, no making him alive till the law has slain him.

Nobody ever outgrows Scripture; the book widens and deepens with our years.

The doctrines some now preach could not build a mouse-trap.

The reputations of the Lord's people should be very precious in our sight...We may ourselves one of these dark days need forbearance and silence from our brethren, let us render it cheerfully to those who require it now. Be this our family rule, and our personal bond: Speak evil of no man.
