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.

Life is a journey, not a home; a road, not a city of habitation; and the enjoyments and blessings we have are but little inns on the roadside of life, where we may be refreshed for a moment, that we may with new strength press on to the end - to the rest that remaineth for the people of God.

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

Faith is the acknowledgment of the entire absence of all goodness in us, and the recognition of the cross as the substitute for all the want on our part. Faith saves, because it owns the complete salvation of another, and not because it contributes anything to that salvation.

In the day of prosperity we have many refuges to resort to; in the day of adversity, only one.

I heard the voice of Jesus say

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