Though we claim to believe the whole of Scripture, in practice we frequently deny much of it by ignoring it.

The worst thing that can happen to a man is to succeed before he is ready.

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.

First of all, the evangelical is one who is entirely subservient to the Bible. This is true of every evangelical. He is a man of one book; he starts with it; he submits himself to it; this is his authority.

There are powers that can counterfeit almost everything in the Christian life.

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

Human will-power alone is not enough. Will-power is excellent and we should always be using it; but it is not enough. A desire to live a good life is not enough. Obviously we should all have that desire, but it will not guarantee success.
