I can't keep the sparrows from flying around my head, but I can keep them from making a nest in my hair.

None can believe how powerful prayer is, and what it is able to effect, but those who have learned it by experience.

When I am assailed with heavy tribulations, I rush out among my pigs rather than remain alone by myself. The human heart is like a millstone in a mill: when you put wheat under it, it turns and grinds and bruises the wheat to flour; if you put no wheat, it still grinds on, but then 'tis itself it grinds and wears away. So the human heart, unless it be occupied with some employment, leaves space for the devil, who wriggles himself in and brings with him a whole host of evil thoughts, temptations, and tribulations, which grind out the heart.

Every week I preach justification by faith to my people, because every week they forget it.
