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.

Our joy ends where love of the world begins.

Sin is sovereign till sovereign grace dethrones it.

True prayer is the trading of the heart with God.

Hold everything earthly with a loose hand, but grasp eternal things with a death-like grip

Sometimes we think we are too busy to pray. That is a great mistake, for praying is a saving of time.

Friendship is one of the sweetest joys of life. Many might have failed beneath the bitterness of their trial had they not found a friend.
