I look upon prayer-meetings as the most profitable exercises (excepting the public preaching) in which Christians can engage. They have a direct tendency to kill a worldly, trifling spirit, and to draw down a Divine blessing upon all our concerns, compose differences, and enkindle (at least maintain) the flames of Divine love amongst brethren.

Every drop of rain hits its appointed target.

Our work is great; our time is short; the consequences of our labors are infinite.

Not only the guilt, but the love of sin, and its dominion, are taken away, subdued by grace, and cordially renounced by the believing pardoned sinner.

Faith upholds a Christian under all trials, by assuring him that every painful dispensation is under the direction of his Lord.

My grand point in preaching is to break the hard heart, and to heal the broken one.

God sometimes does His work with gentle drizzle, not storms.
