We may be certain that whatever God has made prominent in His Word, He intended to be conspicuous in our lives.

When God's mercies are coming, their footfalls are our desires to pray.

The distance between the glorified spirits in heaven and the militant saints on earth seems great; but it is not so. We are not far from home. Heaven... is just one sigh and we get there. Our departed friends are only in the upper room, as it were, of the same house; they have not gone far off; they are upstairs and we are down below.

We are not called to proclaim philosophy and metaphysics, but the simple gospel. Man's fall, his need of a new birth, forgiveness through atonement, and salvation as the result of faith, these are our battle-ax and weapons of war.

There is no repentance where a man can talk lightly of sin, much less where he can speak tenderly and lovingly of it.

Great hearts can only be made by great troubles. Great faith must have great trials.

What manner of men should ministers be? They should thunder in preaching, and lighten in conversation; they should be flaming in prayer, shining in life, and burning in spirit.
