Nothing teaches us about the preciousness of the Creator as much as when we learn the emptiness of everything else.

I do not believe in an atonement which is admirably wide, but fatally ineffectual.

Sin has been pardoned at such a price that we cannot henceforth trifle with it.

If you take Christ out of Christianity, Christianity is dead. If you remove grace out of the gospel, the gospel is gone. If the people do not like the doctrine of grace, give them all the more of it.

The more of heaven there is in our lives, the less of earth we shall covet.

I believe that when Paul plants and Apollos waters, God gives the increase; and I have no patience with those who throw the blame on God when it belongs to themselves.

I believe the hard heartest, most cross grained and most unloving Christians in all the world are those who have not had much trouble in their life. And those that are the most sympathizing, loving and Christlike are generally those who have the most affliction. The worse thing that can happen to any of us is to have a path made too smooth. One of the greatest blessings the Lord ever gave us was a cross.
