He that hath slight thoughts of sin, never had great thoughts of God.

No heart can conceive that treasury of mercies which lies in this one privilege, in having liberty and ability to approach unto God at all times, according to his mind and will.

Then are we servants of God, then are we the disciples of Christ, when we do what is commanded us and because it is commanded us.

He that loves works out good to those that he loves, as he is able. God's power and will are equal; what He wills He works.

I have known some good men who have been so addicted to their study, that they have thought the last day of the week sufficient to prepare for their ministry, though they employ all the rest of the week in other studies. But your business is to trade with your spiritual abilities. ... A man may preach a very good sermon, who is otherwise himself; but he will never make a good minister of Jesus Christ, whose mind and heart are not always in the work. Spiritual gifts will require continual ruminating on the things of the Gospel in our minds.
