When we have communion with God in the doctrine we contend for-then shall we be garrisoned by the grace of God against all the assaults of men.

In the divine Scriptures, there are shallows and there are deeps; shallows where the lamb may wade, and deeps where the elephant may swim.

He who prays as he ought will endeavor to live as he prays.

When the heart is once won to rest in God, to repose himself on him, he will assuredly satisfy it. He will never be as water that fails; nor hath he said at any time to the seed of Jacob, "Seek ye my face in vain." If Christ be chosen for the foundation of our supply, he will not fail us.

If private revelations agree with Scripture, they are needless, and if they disagree, they are false.

The love of God is like himself – equal, constant, not capable of augmentation or diminution; our love is like ourselves – unequal, increasing, waning, growing, declining. His, like the sun, always the same in its light, though a cloud may sometimes interpose; ours, as the moon, has its enlargements and straightenings.

Sin will be always acting, if we be not always mortifying, we are lost creatures.
