Two sorts of peace are more to be dreaded than all the troubles in the world — peace with sin, and peace in sin.

There is no surer evidence of an unconverted state than to have the things of the world uppermost in our aim, love, and estimation.

Conversion is not a repairing of the old building, but it takes all down and erects a new structure. It is not the sewing on a patch of holiness; but, with the true convert, holiness is woven into all his powers, principles and practice.

Christ does not control his subjects by force, but is King of a willing people. They are, through His grace, freely devoted to His service.

The Lord Jesus Christ would have the whole world to know, that though He pardons sin, He will not protect it.

It is one thing to have sin alarmed only by convictions, and another to have it crucified by converting grace. Many, because they have been troubled in conscience for their sins, think well of their case, miserably mistaking conviction for conversion.

Converting grace puts God on the throne, and the world at His footstool; Christ in the heart, and the world under Hisfeet.
