My prayer today is that God would make me an extraordinary Christian.

Christ is worth all, or he is worth nothing.

You may have orthodox heads, and yet you may have the devil in your hearts.

The reason why congregations have been so dead is, because they had dead men preaching to them. O that the Lord may quicken and revive them! How can dead men beget living children?

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.

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

Oh for a thousand lives to be spent in the service of Christ.
