Nothing is more generally known than the duties which belong to christianity; and yet, how amazing is it, nothing is less practised?

Believers keep up and maintain their walk with God by secret prayer. The spirit of grace is always accompanied with the spirit of supplication. It is the very breath of the new creature, the fan of the divine life, whereby the spark of holy fire, kindled in the soul by God, is not only kept in, but raised into a flame.

The sinner can no more raise himself from the deadness of sin than Lazarus, who had been dead four days, until Jesus came.

We can preach the Gospel of Christ no further than we have experienced the power of it in our own hearts

Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners, even persecutors, the worst of sinners: his righteousness is sufficient for them; his Spirit is able to purify and change their hearts.

As God can send a nation or people no greater blessing than to give them faithful, sincere and upright ministers, so the greatest curse that God can possibly send upon a people in this world is to give them over to blind, unregenerate, carnal, lukewarm and unskilled guides.

Fight the good fight of faith, and God will give you spiritual mercies.
