A godly man often grows best when his worldly circumstances decay. He who follows Christ for his bag is a Judas; they who follow for loaves and fishes are children of the devil; but they who attend Him out of love to Himself are His own beloved ones. Lord, let me find my life in Thee, and not in the mire of this world's favour or gain.

Faith pulls the black mask from the face of trouble, and discovers the angel beneath.

Come as you are. If you are the blackest soul out of hell, trust Christ, and that act of trust shall make you clean.

If you cut him, (John Bunyan) he'd bleed Scripture!

Every hour of every day, God is richly blessing us; both when we sleep and when we wake His mercy waits upon us.

We ought not to tolerate for a minute the ghastly and grievous thought that God will not answer prayer.

A man who knows that he is saved by believing in Christ does not, when he is baptized, lift his baptism into a saving ordinance. In fact, he is the very best protester against that mistake, because he holds that he has no right to be baptized until he is saved.
