Pride is the oldest and most common of sins. Humility is the rarest and most beautiful of graces.

Beware of manufacturing a God of your own: a God who is all mercy, but not just; a God who is all love, but not holy; a God who as a heaven for every body, but a hell for none; a God who can allow good and bad to be side by side in time, but will make no distinction between good and broad in eternity. Such a God is an idol of your own, as truly an idol as any snake or crocodile in an Egyptian temple. The hands of your own fancy and sentimentality have made him. He is not the God of the Bible, and beside the God of the Bible there is no God at all.

I am one of those old-fashioned ministers who believe the whole Bible and everything that it contains.

Since Satan can't destroy the gospel, he has too often neutralized its usefulness by addition, subtraction or substitution.

If God has given His Son to die for us, let us beware of doubting His kindness and love in any painful providence of our daily life.

Praying and sinning will never live together in the same heart. Prayer will consume sin, or sin will choke prayer.

True repentance is no light matter. It is a thorough change of heart about sin, a change showing itself in godly sorrow and humiliation - in heartfelt confession before the throne of grace - in a complete breaking off from sinful habits, and an abiding hatred of all sin. Such repentance is the inseparable companion of saving faith in Christ.
