This grace of God is a very great, strong, mighty and active thing. It does not lie asleep in the soul. Grace hears, leads, drives, draws, changes, works all in man, and lets itself be distinctly felt and experienced. It is hidden, but its works are evident.

It is a tremendously hard thing to pray aright, yea, it is verily the science of all sciences.

God is entirely and personally present in the wilderness, in the garden, in the field.

Next to theology I give to music the highest place and honor. And we see how David and all the saints have wrought their godly thoughts into verse, rhyme, and song.

He who loves not women, wine, and song Remains a fool his whole life long.

I compare it with a lie, which like to a snowball, the longer it is rolled the greater it becomes.

The Lord commonly gives riches to foolish people, to whom he gives nothing else.
