God delights in our temptations and yet hates them. He delights in them when they drive us to prayer; he hates them when they drive us to despair.

If I should neglect prayer but a single day, I should lose a great deal of the fire of faith.

This letter [to the Romans] is truly the most important piece in the New Testament. It is purest Gospel. It is well worth a Christian's while not only to memorize it word for word but also to occupy himself with it daily, as though it were the daily bread of the soul. It is impossible to read or to meditate on this letter too much or too well. The more one deals with it, the more precious it becomes, and the better it tastes.

Albert Durer, the famous painter, used to say he had no pleasure in pictures that were painted with many colors, but in those which were painted with a choice simplicity. So it is with me as to sermons.

God writes the Gospel not in the Bible alone, but also on trees, and in the flowers and clouds and stars.

Reason is the enemy of faith.

We are saved by faith alone, but the faith that saves is never alone.
