If we are indeed contending for truth and righteousness, let us not tarry till we have talent, or wealth, or any other form of visible power at our disposal; but with such stones as we find in the brook, and with our own usual sling, let us run to meet the enemy.

Intercessory prayer is an act of communion with Christ, for Jesus pleads for the sons of men.

A prayerless church member is a hindrance. He is in the body like a rotting bone or a decayed tooth. Before long, since he does not contribute to the benefit of his brethren, he will become a danger and a sorrow to them. Neglect of private prayer is the locust which devours the strength of the church.

All the preaching in the world cannot make a man see the truth so long as his eyes are blinded.

Whatever a man depends upon, whatever rules his mind, whatever governs his affections, whatever is the chief object of his delight, is his god.

I am but of yesterday, and know nothing.

Between here and heaven, every minute that the Christian lives will be a minute of grace.
