The whole Christ seeks after each sinner, and when the Lord finds it, he gives himself to that one soul as if he had but that one soul to bless. How my heart admires the concentration of all the Godhead and humanity of Christ in his search after each sheep of his flock.

I would go to the deeps a hundred times a cheer a downcast spirit.

When fathers are tongue tied religiously with their offspring, need they wonder if their children's hearts remain sin tied?

When Jesus died on the cross the veil in the temple was torn from top to bottom so that big sinners like me might fit through.

Nonsense is nonsense whether it rhymes or not, just as bad half-pennies are good for nothing whether they jingle or lie quiet.

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

O prejudice, prejudice, prejudice, how many hast thou destroyed! Men who might have been wise have remained fools because they thought they were wise. Many judge what the gospel ought to be, but do not actually enquire as to what it is. They do not come to the Bible to obtain their views of religion, but they open that Book to find texts to suit the opinions which they bring to it. They are not open to the honest force of truth, and therefore are not saved by it.
