A person who is really saved by Grace does not need to be told that he is under solemn obligations to serve Christ. The new life within him tells him that. Instead of regarding it as a burden, he gladly surrenders himself, body, soul, and spirit, to the Lord.

The glory of the salvation of souls belongs to God, and to Him alone.

Want of will causes paralysis of every faculty. In spiritual things man is utterly unable because resolvedly unwilling.

Opposition to divine sovereignty is essentially atheism.

Most of the grand truths of God have to be learned by trouble; they must be burned into us with the hot iron of affliction, otherwise we shall not truly receive them.

Let us measure ourselves by our Master, and not by our fellow-servants : then pride will be impossible.

Patience is a grace as difficult as it is necessary, and as hard to come by as it is precious when it is gained.
