A man must have a stout digestion to feed upon some men's theology; no sap, no sweetness, no life, but all stern accuracy, and fleshless definition. Proclaimed without tenderness, and argued without affection, the gospel from such men rather resembles a missile from a catapult than bread from a Father's hand.

A prayer less soul is a Christ less soul.

Be thankful for the thorns and thistles, which keep you from being in love with this world, and becoming an idolater.

If by excessive labor we die before reaching the average age of man, worn out in the Master's service, then glory be to God. We shall have so much less of earth and so much more of heaven. It is our duty and our privilege to exhaust our lives for Jesus.

This is the sum; my brethren, preach Christ, always and evermore. He is the whole gospel. His person, offices, and work must be our one great all-comprehending theme

If you meet with a system of theology which magnifies man, flee from it as far as you can.

A world where everything was easy would be a nursery for babies, but not at all a fit place for men.
