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.

If you have no wish to bring others to heaven, you are not going there yourself.

It is blessed to eat into the very soul of the Bible until the very essence of the Bible flows from you.

Prayer moves the arm that moves the world.

If we give God service it must be because He gives us grace. We work for Him because He works in us.

When we bless God for mercies, we usually prolong them. When we bless God for miseries, we usually end them. Praise is the honey of life which a devout heart extracts from every bloom of providence and grace.

The granting of prayer, when offered in the name of Jesus, reveals the Father's love to him, and the honor which he has put upon him.
