We have come to a turning point in the road. If we turn to the right mayhap our children and our children's children will go that way; but if we turn to the left, generations yet unborn will curse our names for having been unfaithful to God and to His Word.

Some Christians try to go to heaven alone, in solitude; but believers are not compared to bears, or lions, or other animals that wander alone; but those who belong to Christ are sheep in this respect, that they love to get together. Sheep go in flocks, and so do God’s people.

Sorrow for sin should be the keenest sorrow; joy in the Lord should be the loftiest joy.

Your emptiness is but the preparation for your being filled, and your casting down is but the making ready for your lifting up.

Mighty prayer has often been produced by mighty trial.

The anvil is not afraid of the hammer.

The first link between my soul and Christ is not my goodness but my badness, not my merit but my misery, not my riches but my need.
