He is truly great in who hath power over himself.

Prayer is the slender nerve that moves the muscle of omnipotence.

Poor human nature cannot bear such strains as heavenly triumphs bring to it; there must come a reaction. Excess of joy or excitement must be paid for by subsequent depressions. While the trial lasts, the strength is equal to the emergency; but when it is over, natural weakness claims the right to show itself.

No man ever made himself to live. No preacher, however earnest, can make one hearer to live. No parent, however prayerful, no teacher, however tearful, can make a child live unto God. “You hath HE quickened,” is true of all who are quickened.

Satan does not care whether he drags you down to hell as a Calvinist or as an Arminian, so long as he can get you there.

Depend on it, my hearer, you never will go to heaven unless you are prepared to worship Jesus Christ as God.

Persecution is the heirloom of the church, and the ensign of the elect.
