Ministers never write or preach so well as when under the cross.

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.

The renewal of our natures is a work of great importance. It is not to be done in a day. We have not only a new house to build up, but an old one to pull down.

True conversion means turning not only from sin but also from depending on self-made righteousness.

Press forward. Do not stop, do not linger in your journey, but strive for the mark set before you.

When you hear of a notorious sinner, instead of thinking you do well to be angry, beg of Jesus Christ to convert, and make him a monument of his free grace.

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