Can true repentance exist without faith? By no means. But although they cannot be separated, they ought to be distinguished.

There is no worse screen to block out the Spirit than confidence in our own intelligence.

Christians rejoice even while they truly sorrow - because their rejoicing is in the hope of heaven... While joy overcomes sorrow, it does not put an end to it.

Nothing is more dangerous than to be blinded by prosperity.

But, as sculpture and painting are gifts of God, what I insist on is, that both shall be used purely and lawfully, that gifts which the Lord has bestowed upon us, for His glory and our good, shall not be preposterously abused, nay, shall not be perverted to our destruction.

When we see that the whole sum of our salvation, and every single part of it, are comprehended in Christ, we must beware of deriving even the minutest portion of it from any other quarter.

Faith is not a distant view, but a warm embrace of Christ.
