I do not preach doubtingly, for I do not live doubtingly.

God never punishes his children in the sense of avenging justice. He chastens as a father does his child, but he never punishes his redeemed as a judge does a criminal. It is unjust to exact punishment from redeemed souls since Christ has been punished in their place. How shall the Lord punish twice for one offense?

All the preaching in the world cannot make a man see the truth so long as his eyes are blinded.

If Christ be anything he must be everything. O rest not till love and faith in Jesus be the master passions of your soul!

Oh, the hard, cruel thoughts which men have toward one another when they are angry! They kill and slay a thousand times over. These hasty sins are soon forgotten by us, but they are not forgotten by God.

We shall never find happiness by looking at our prayers, our doings, or our feelings; it is what Jesus is, not what we are, that gives rest to the soul.

The closet is the best study. The commentators are good instructors, but the Author Himself is far better.
