We must cast away everything which hinders us upon our road towards heaven – the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye and the pride of life; the love of riches, pleasures and honors, the spirit of lukewarmness and carelessness and indifference about the things of God – all must be rooted out and forsaken if we are anxious for the prize. We must mortify the deeds of the body, we must crucify our affections for this world.

Wealth is no mark of God’s favor. Poverty is no mark of God’s displeasure.

Look to the cross, think of the cross, meditate on the cross, and then go and set your affections on the world if you can.

We are all naturally self-righteous. It is the family disease of all the children of Adam.

A man's state before God may always be measured by his prayers.

Let us receive nothing, believe nothing, follow nothing which is not in the Bible, nor can be proved by the Bible.

Look not to yourselves! You are by nature wretched, miserable, poor, blind and naked. Look simply unto Jesus.
