Men are in a restless pursuit after satisfaction and earthly things. They have no forethought for their eternal state, the present hour absorbs them. They turn to another and another of earth's broken cisterns, hoping to find water, where not a drop was ever discovered yet.

Out of every difficulty Omnipotence can bring us, only let us in childlike confidence cast our burden upon the Lord.

The law shows the distance that exists between God and man; the Gospel bridges that awful chasm and brings the sinner across it.

I am throwing all my good works overboard, and lashing myself to the plank of free grace; for I hope to swim to glory on it.

It is the burning lava of the soul that has a furnace within--a very volcano of grief and sorrow-it is that burning lava of prayer that finds its way to God. No prayer ever reaches God's heart which does not come from our hearts.

Praying without fervency is like hunting with a dead dog.
