The grace of the spirit comes only from heaven, and lights up the whole bodily presence.

God gave me this great book to preach from, and if He has put anything in it you think is not fit, go and complain to Him, not to me. I am simply his servant, and if His errand that I am to tell is objectionable, I cannot help it.

He cannot be a glorious God unless His people ultimately are a glorified people.

If you love anything better than God you are idolaters: if there is anything you would not give up for God it is your idol: if there is anything that you seek with greater fervor than you seek the glory of God, that is your idol, and conversion means a turning from every idol.

We need winds and tempests to exercise our faith, to tear off the rotten bough of self-dependence, and to root us more firmly in Christ. The day of evil reveals to us the value of our glorious hope.

You will never know the fullness of Christ until you know the emptiness of everything but Christ.

The faith which saves is not one single act done on a certain day: it is an act continued and persevered in throughout the life of man.
