Though you have sinned much, that is no reason why you should despair, but only why you should love much, having so much forgiven.

God forbid that I should travel with anybody a quarter of an hour without speaking of Christ to them.

The care of the soul is 'a matter of the highest importance;' beyond any thing which can be brought into comparison with it.

Come away, my dear brethren, fly, fly, fly for your lives to Jesus Christ; fly to a bleeding God, fly to a throne of grace; and beg of God to break your heart; beg of God to convince you of your actual sins; beg of God to convince you of your original sin; beg of God to convince you of your self-righteousness; beg of God to give you faith, and to enable you to close with Jesus Christ.

Would ministers preach for eternity! They would then act the part of true Christian orators, and not only calmly and cooly inform the understanding, but, by persuasive, pathetic address, endeavour to move the affections and warm the heart.
