The Lord who cannot endure vain repetitions is equally weary of vain variations.

Do not try to make the gospel tasteful to carnal minds. Do not hide the offense of the cross, lest you make it of no effect.

Long ago I ceased to count heads. Truth is usually in the minority in this evil world

To be laughed at is no great hardship to me. I can delight in scoffs and jeers. Caricatures, lampoons, and slanders are my glory. But that you should turn from your own mercy, this is my sorrow. Spit on me, but, oh, repent! Laugh at me, but, oh, believe in my Master! Make my body as the dirt of the streets, but damn not your own souls!

Now let us find solace in the finished work of our Lord Jesus. Everything is fully done: justice demands no more.

I am certain that I never did grow in grace one-half so much anywhere as I have upon the bed of pain.
