If you will tell me when God permits a Christian to lay aside his armour, I will tell you when Satan has left off temptation.

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.

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

Prayer is the forerunner of mercy. Turn to sacred history, and you will find that scarecely ever did a great mercy come to this world unheralded by supplication.

You and I cannot be useful if we want to be sweet as honey in the mouths of men. God will never bless us if we wish to please men, that they may think well of us. Are you willing to tell them what will break your own heart in the telling and break theirs in the hearing? If not, you are not fit to serve the Lord. You must be willing to go and speak for God, though you will be rejected.

The faith which saves is not one single act done on a certain day: it is an act continued and persevered in throughout the life of man.

It was nothing less than a stretch of divine love for Jesus to give himself for our sins. It was gracious for the Infinite to conceive of such a thing; but for him to carry it out was glorious beyond all.
