The Gospel is open to all; the most respectable sinner has no more claim on it than the worst.

Faith is a refusal to panic, come what may.

The most vital question to ask about all who claim to be Christian is this: Have they a soul thirst for God? ... Is their life centered on Him? Do they press forward more and more that they might know Him.

If we only spent more of our time in looking at Him we should soon forget ourselves.

You must be made miserable before you can know true Christian joy. Indeed the real trouble with the miserable Christian is that he has never been truly made miserable because of conviction of sin. He has by-passed the essential preliminary to joy, he has been assuming something that he has no right to assume.

Conviction is not repentance; conviction leads to repentance. But you can be convicted without repentance.

The gospel is not something partial or piecemeal: it takes in the whole life, the whole of history, the whole world. It tells us about creation and the final judgment and everything in between.
