No man can survey himself without forthwith turning his thoughts towards the God in whom he lives and moves; because it is perfectly obvious, that the endowments which we possess cannot possibly be from ourselves; nay, that our very being is nothing else than subsistence in God alone.

On the contrary, therefore, Christ declares that the doctrine of the Gospel, though it is preached to all without exception, cannot be embraced by all, but that a new understanding and a new perception are requisite; and, therefore, that faith does not depend on the will of men, but that it is God who gives it.

The principle exercise which the children of god have is to pray. For in this way they give true proof of their faith.

Faith is like an empty, open hand stretched out towards God, with nothing to offer and everything to recieve

If people mean that man has in himself the power to work in partnership with God's grace they are most wretchedly deluding themselves.

To make intercession for men is the most powerful and practical way in which we can express our love for them.

When the Bible speaks, God speaks.
