How gentle and tender ought we to be with others who are foolish when we remember how foolish we are ourselves

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

Oh my brethren, Bold hearted men are always called mean-spirited by cowards!

Satan always hates Christian fellowship; it is his policy to keep Christians apart. Anything which can divide saints from one another he delights in. He attaches far more importance to godly intercourse than we do. Since union is strength, he does his best to promote separation.

Secularism teaches us that we ought to look to this world. Christianity teaches us that the best way to prepare for this world is to be fully prepared for the next.

It would be a very sharp & trying experience to me to think that I have an affliction which God never sent me, that the bitter cup was never filled by his hand, that my trials were never measured out by him, nor sent to me by his arrangement of their weight and quantity.

Oh that I could have the cross painted on my eyeballs, that I could not see anything except through the medium of my Savior’s passion!
