Sin is too great an evil for man to meddle with. His attempts to remove it do but increase it, and his endeavours to approach God in spite of it aggravate his guilt.

The gospel is the proclamation of free love; the revelation of the boundless charity of God. Nothing less than this will suit our world; nothing else is so likely to touch the heart, to go down to the lowest depths of depraved humanity, as the assurance that the sinner has been loved -- loved by God, loved with a righteous love, loved with a free love that makes no bargain as to merit, or fitness, or goodness.

Sow truth, if thou the truth wouldst reap: Who sows the false shall reap the vain.

Bold preaching is the only preaching that is owned of God.

Thy way, not mine, O Lord, however dark it be; lead me by thine own hand; choose out the path for me.

In all unbelief there are these two things: a good opinion of one's self, and a bad opinion of God.

A believing man will be a zealous man. Faith makes a man zealous. Faith shows itself by zeal. Not by zeal for a party or a system or an opinion; but by zeal for Christ - zeal for His church - zeal for the carrying on of His work on earth.
