The great reason why we have so little good preaching is that we have so little piety. To be eloquent one must be in earnest; he must not only act as if he were in earnest, or try to be in earnest, but be in earnest.

I do believe we slander Christ when we think we are to draw the people by something else but the preaching of Christ crucified.

Prayer and praise are the oars by which a man may row his boat into the deep waters of the knowledge of Christ.

If we be married to Christ, and He be jealous of us, depend upon it this jealous husband will let none touch His spouse.

It is only serving God that is doing immortal work; it is only living for Christ that is living at all.

No man ever served God by doing things tomorrow.

Sin is a thing of time, but mercy is from everlasting. Transgression is but of yesterday, but mercy was ever of old. Before you and I sought the Lord, the Lord sought us.
