Oh, the stoop of the Redeemer's amazing love! Let us, henceforth, contend how low we can go side by side with Him, but remember when we have gone to the lowest He descends lower still, so that we can truly feel that the very lowest place is too high for us, because He has gone lower still.

Our best performances are so stained with sin, that it is hard to know whether they are good works or bad works.

I long for nothing more earnestly than to serve God with all my might.

When we ask of the Lord coolly, and not fervently, we do as it were, stop His hand, and restrain Him from giving us the very blessing we "pretend" that we are seeking.

Nothing that man can present to God by way of sacrifice can ever purchase the blessing of forgiveness.

It is only serving God that is doing immortal work; it is only living for Christ that is living at all.

If He had not known with certainty that He would be Master over sin and that out of evil would evolve the noblest display of His own glory, He would not have permitted it to enter the world.
