Grace is favor shown to people who do not deserve any favor at all.

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

Always respond to every impulse to pray. The impulse to pray may come when you are reading or when you are battling with a text. I would make an absolute law of this: always obey such an impulse.

Spiritual depression or unhappiness in the Christian life is very often due to our failure to realize the greatness of the gospel.

The church is always to be under the Word; she must be; we must keep her there. You must not assume that because the church started correctly, she will continue so. She did not do so in the New Testament times; she has not done so since. Without being constantly reformed by the Word the church becomes something very different.

People are often unhappy in the Christian life because they have thought of Christianity, and the whole message of the gospel, in inadequate terms.

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