Great thoughts of your sin alone will drive you to despair; but great thoughts of Christ will pilot you into the haven of peace.

Beware, I pray thee, of presuming that thou art saved. If thy heart be renewed, if thou shalt hate the things that thou didst once love, and love the things that thou didst once hate; if thou hast really repented; if there be a thorough change of mind in thee; if thou be born again, then hast thou reason to rejoice: but if there be no vital change, no inward godliness; if there be no love to God, no prayer, no work of the Holy Spirit, then thy saying "I am saved" is but thine own assertion, and it may delude, but it will not deliver thee.

I looked at God and He looked at me, and we were one forever.

For my part, I love to stand foot to foot with an honest foeman. To open warfare, bold and true hearts raise no objection but the ground of quarrel; it is covert enmity which we have most cause to fear, and best reason to loathe. That crafty kindness which inveigles me to sacrifice principle is the serpent in the grass - deadly to the incautious wayfarer.

Satan can make men dance upon the brink of hell as though they were on the verge of heaven.

The higher a man is in grace, the lower he will be in his own esteem.

Man's words are mere breath, but the word of the Lord is spirit and life.
