I would not give much for your religion unless it can be seen. Lamps do not talk, but they do shine.

There is no other place where the heart should be so free as before the mercy seat. There, you can talk out your very soul, for that is the best prayer that you can present. Do not ask for what some tell you that you should ask for, but for that which you feel the need of, that which the Holy Spirit has made you to hunger and to thirst for, you ask for that.

Repentance and desires after holiness never be separated.

Groanings which cannot be uttered are often prayers which cannot be refused.

Your sorrow itself shall be turned into joy. Not the sorrow to be taken away, and joy to be put in its place, but the very sorrow which now grieves you shall be turned into joy. God not only takes away the bitterness and gives sweetness in its place, but turns the bitterness into sweetness itself.

All originality and no plagiarism makes for dull preaching.

God works, and therefore we work; God is with- us, and therefore we are with God, and stand on His side.
