Let us see that our knowledge of Christ be not a powerless, barren, unpractical knowledge: O that, in its passage from our understanding to our lips, it might powerfully melt, sweeten, and ravish our hearts! Remember, brethren, a holy calling never saved any man, without a holy heart; if our tongues only be sanctified, our whole man must be damned. We must be judged by the same gospel, and stand at the same bar, and be sentenced to the same terms, and dealt with as severely as any other men.

Oh sirs, deal with sin as sin, and speak of heaven and hell as they are, and not as if you were in jest.

What a mercy was it to us to have parents that prayed for us before they had us, as well as in our infancy when we could not pray for ourselves!

No doctrine is more excellent, or necessary to be preached and studied, than Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

The soul of the poorest child is of equal dignity with the soul of Adam.

He is bread to the hungry, water to the thirsty, a garment to the naked, healing to the wounded; and whatever a soul can desire is found in Him.

My soul is of more value than ten thousand worlds.
