O man, I beseech you do not treat God's promises as if they were curiosities for a museum; but use them as every day sources of comfort. Trust the Lord whenever your time of need comes on.

This is faith, receiving the truth of Christ; first knowing it to be true, and then acting upon that belief.

I would sooner be holy than happy if the two things could be divorced. Were it possible for a man always to sorrow and yet to be pure, I would choose the sorrow if I might win the purity, for to be free from the power of sin, to be made to love holiness, is true happiness.

For there is some danger of falling into a soft and effeminate Christianity, under the plea of a lofty and ethereal theology.

His will cannot be neutral or 'free' to act contrary to his nature.

Men turn their faces to hell, and hope to get to heaven; why don't they walk into the horsepond, and hope to be dry?.

Let me revel in this one thought: before God made the heavens and the earth, He set His love upon me.
