Oh, that we could but convince men and women that murmuring spirit is a greater evil than any affliction, whatever the affliction!

My brethren, the reason why you have not got contentment in the things of the world is not because you have not got enough of them-that is not the reason-but the reason is, because they are not things proportionable to that immortal soul of yours that is capable of God himself.

We should study Christ, and praise and bless God, and have our hearts enlarged for Jesus Christ. This is the duty of believers to whom God has revealed Christ as wonderful, that in their conversations they should hold out the wonderful glory of Jesus Christ. You should so walk before men as to manifest to all the world that your Savior is a wonderful Savior

A noble heart is a thankful heart that loves to acknowledge whenever it has received any mercy.

the disorders of your hearts, and their sinful workings are as words before God.

the Lord does not so much look at the work that is done, as at the faithfulness of our hearts in doing it.

Faith has this excellency, that it is able to bring life out of death, light out of darkness. It has a kind of creating virtue.
