The foundation of true holiness and true Christian worship is the doctrine of the gospel, what we are to believe. So when Christian doctrine is neglected, forsaken, or corrupted, true holiness and worship will also be neglected, forsaken, and corrupted.

We must not be concerned only with that which troubles us, but with all that troubles God.

If a man teach uprightly and walk crookedly, more will fall down in the night of his life than he built in the day of his doctrine.

It is not the glorious battlements, the painted windows, the crouching gargoyles that support a building, but the stones that lie unseen in or upon the earth. It is often those who are despised and trampled on that bear up the weight of a whole nation.

Christ did not die for any upon condition, if they do believe; but He died for all God's elect, that they should believe.

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.

The more I see of the glory of Christ, the more the painted beauties of this world will wither in my eyes.
