Assurance of hope is more than life, it is health, strength, power, vigor, activity, energy, manliness, beauty.

No prayers can be heard which do not come from a forgiving heart.

Let us be very careful that we never exalt any minister, or sermon, or book, or friend above the Word of God.

I fear it is sometimes forgotten that God has married together justification and sanctification. They are distinct and different things, beyond question, but one is never found without the other. All justified people are sanctified, and all sanctified people are justified. ... Tell me not of your justification, unless you have also some marks of sanctification. Boast not of Christ's work for you, unless you can show us the Spirit's work in you.

A crucified Savior will never be content to have a self-pleasing, self-indulging, worldly-minded people.

Let us never forget that our chief danger is from within. The world and the devil combined, cannot do us as much harm as our own hearts will, if we do not watch and pray.

The best of men are men at best
