We should go into His presence as a child goes to his father. We do it with reverence and godly fear, of course, but we should go with a childlike confidence and simplicity.

What is preaching? Logic on fire! Preaching is theology coming through a man who is on fire. A true understanding and experience of the Truth must lead to this. I say again that a man who can speak about these things dispassionately has no right whatsoever to be in a pulpit; and should never be allowed to enter one.

All teaching and all truth and all doctrine must be tested in the light of the scriptures.

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

...There is a great need of more familiarity with the Scriptures and their teaching in order that we may be crushed to our knees with a sense of humility and be made to cry to God that He would visit us again.

The nearer a man gets to God, the greater he sees his sin.

The glory of the gospel is that when the church is absolutely different from the world, she invariably attracts it.
