Nobody ever outgrows Scripture; the book widens and deepens with our years.

The friend of God must not spend a day without God, and he must undertake no work apart from his God.

No matter how good you think yourself to be, you cannot enter heaven unless it is under the terms of sovereign grace.

The best style of prayer is that which cannot be called anything else but a cry.
