I am throwing all my good works overboard, and lashing myself to the plank of free grace; for I hope to swim to glory on it.

Man was made in the image of God, and nothing will satisfy man but God, in whose image he was made.

I believe the hard heartest, most cross grained and most unloving Christians in all the world are those who have not had much trouble in their life. And those that are the most sympathizing, loving and Christlike are generally those who have the most affliction. The worse thing that can happen to any of us is to have a path made too smooth. One of the greatest blessings the Lord ever gave us was a cross.

The more objects you set your heart upon, the more thorns there are to tear your peace of mind to shreds.

Christian, take good care of thy faith; for recollect faith is the only way whereby thou canst obtain blessings. If we want blessings from God, nothing can fetch them down but faith. Prayer cannot draw down answers from God's throne except it be the earnest prayer of a man who believes. Faith is the angelic messenger between the soul and the Lord Jesus in glory.

If the people do not like the doctrine of grace, give them all the more of it.

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