Ministers should be stars to give light, not clouds to obscure.

Live and die without prayer, and you will pray long enough when you get to hell.

The more grace we have, the less we shall think of ourselves, for grace, like light, reveals our impurity.

Great faith must have great trials.

God save us from living in comfort while sinners are sinking into hell!

No man ever made himself to live. No preacher, however earnest, can make one hearer to live. No parent, however prayerful, no teacher, however tearful, can make a child live unto God. “You hath HE quickened,” is true of all who are quickened.

The business of the believer with his Bible open is to pray, 'Lord, give me the meaning and spirit of your word, while it lies open before me; apply your word with power to my soul, threatening or promise, doctrine or precept, whatever it may be; lead me into the soul and marrow of your word.'
