To suppose that whatever God requireth of us that we have power of ourselves to do, is to make the cross and grace of Jesus Christ of none effect.

Unless men see a beauty and delight in the worship of God, they will not do it willingly.

The duties God requires of us are not in proportion to the strength we possess in ourselves. Rather, they are proportional to the resources available to us in Christ. We do not have the ability in ourselves to accomplish the least of God's tasks. This is the law of grace. When we recognize it is impossible for us to perform a duty in our own strength, we will discover the secret of its accomplishment.

Temptations and occasions put nothing into a man, but only draw out what was in him before.

It is a throne of grace that God in Christ is represented to us upon; but yet is is a throne still whereon majesty and glory do reside, and God is always to be considered by us as on a throne.

We are never nearer Christ than when we find ourselves lost in a holy amazement at His unspeakable love.

Temptation gains power by persistent solicitations that beget thoughts that make evil less serious
