The Gospel is like a caged lion. It does not need to be defended, it just needs to be let out of its cage.

When you speak of heaven, let your face light up...When you speak of hell well then, your everyday face will do.

It is the whole business of the whole church to preach the whole gospel to the whole world.

Praying without fervency is like hunting with a dead dog.

I believe the doctrine of election, because I am quite sure that if God had not chosen me I should never have chosen him; and I am sure he chose me before I was born, or else he never would have chosen me afterwards; and he must have elected me for reasons unknown to me, for I never could find any reason in myself why he should have looked upon me with special love.

A man's contentment is in his mind, not in the extent of his possessions. Alexander the Great, with all the world at his feet, cries for another world to conquer.

And I will go as far as Martin Luther, in that strong assertion of his, where he says, "If any man ascribes any of salvation, even the very least, to the free-will of man, he knows nothing of grace, and he has not learned Jesus Christ aright."
