The furnace of affliction is a good place for you, Christian; it benefits you; it helps you to become more like Christ, and it is fitting you for heaven.

Our great object of glorifying God is to be mainly achieved by the winning of souls Do not close a single sermon without addressing the ungodly.

He who sings a song to Christ in the night, sings the best song in all the world; for he sings from the heart.

Morality is a neat cover for foul venom, but it does not alter the fact that the heart is vile, and the man himself is under damnation. Men will be damned with good works as well as without them, if they make them their confidence (rather than Jesus Christ).

I am persuaded that men think there is no God because they wish there were none. They find it hard to believe in God, and to go on in sin, so they try to get an easy conscience by denying his existence.

God works, and therefore we work; God is with- us, and therefore we are with God, and stand on His side.

The Gospel is like a caged lion. It does not need to be defended, it just needs to be let out of its cage.
