Do not sit down and try to pump up repentance from the dry well of a corrupt nature. It is contrary to the laws of your mind to suppose that you can force your soul into that gracious state. Take your heart in prayer to Him who understands it and say, "Lord, cleanse it. Lord, renew it. Lord, work repentance in it." The more you try to produce penitent emotions in yourself, the more you will be disappointed. However, if you believingly think of Jesus dying for you, repentance will burst forth.

Let this be to you the mark of true gospel preaching - where Christ is everything, and the creature is nothing; where it is salvation all of grace, through the work of the Holy Spirit applying to the soul the precious blood of Jesus.

Hold everything earthly with a loose hand, but grasp eternal things with a death-like grip

To become a man was something, but to become a man of sorrows was far more; to bleed, and die, and suffer.

Give because you love to give - as the flower pours forth its perfume.

It is only serving God that is doing immortal work; it is only living for Christ that is living at all.

An unkind heart is the worst. It is a plague to its possessor, and a torment to those around him.
