It is a most blessed thing to be subject to the sovereignty of God.
Unless men establish their complete happiness in God, they will never give themselves truly and sincerely to him.
If God were not to test us, there would be no patience.
If a preacher is not first preaching to himself, better that he falls on the steps of the pulpit and breaks his neck than preaches that sermon.
If the gospel be not preached, Jesus Christ is, as it were, buried.
There is no worse screen to block out the Spirit than confidence in our own intelligence.
