Habits, soft and pliant at first, are like some coral stones, which are easily cut when first quarried, but soon become hard as adamant.

You and your sins must separate, or you and your God will never come together.

When it is the Lord’s work in which we rejoice, we need not be afraid of being too glad.

There is nothing in the law of God that will rob you of happiness; it only denies you that which would cost you sorrow.

God in his infinite mercy has devised a way by which justice can be satisfied, and yet mercy can be triumphant.

Free grace can go into the gutter, and bring up a jewel!
